After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Hong hurriedly said, "Yes, Emperor." The slave and maid will do it. ”

After saying this, Chen Hong walked out eagerly.

Looking at Chen Hong's back, Zhu Youxiao's face showed a relaxed smile.

For Zhu Youxiao, the matter on the side of the Confucius family in Shandong is the big thing.

As for the rebellion, Zhu Youxiao actually didn't pay much attention to it.

In the original history, although Xu Hongru's rebellion seemed to be huge, it was not too dangerous. Because of the war in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty transferred a lot of people.

Whether it is from Shandong or from the southwest, many people have gone to Liaodong. This is also the reason why in the original history, Gao Chongming and An Bangyan were able to make such a big move. Because there is no one in the Ming Dynasty, the place is naturally unstable.

But now it's different, the situation in Liaodong is quite stable now, and Xiong Tingbi is doing a good job in Liaodong. Although dozens of battles were fought large and small, they were basically able to hold on.

This is actually enough for Zhu Youxiao. He also did not think about counterattacking, and after adopting a steady defensive position, the security of Liaodong was ensured to a large extent.

In the original history, the reason why Liaodong made such a big fuss. In fact, it is not a matter of Liaodong at all, but a partisan struggle between the DPRK and China.

Today is this policy for Liaodong, tomorrow it is that policy; Today you are in charge of Liaodong, tomorrow I am in charge of Liaodong, and it can be said that it is common for future generations to overturn the policies of their predecessors, and it can be said that it is a common thing for the government to change its orders at night.

In addition, corruption has become commonplace, and the military salaries in Liaodong are not guaranteed, and it is very difficult for the middle and lower-class officers and soldiers to survive.

So Zhu Youxiao sympathized with Mao Wenlong. A large part of Mao Wenlong's reselling in Liaodong was to make money and raise soldiers.

Some people say that Mao Wenlong supports the army and respects himself, but if he didn't have such a way to make money, he wouldn't be able to raise so many soldiers at all.

The big men of the court let him work, but the money made the big men greedy, so Mao Wenlong naturally had to think of another way. In such a situation, there is no good way.

Of course, it is not uncommon in this day and age to fill your pockets with your own pockets, and basically everyone does this. So Mao Wenlong has nothing outstanding, he is a very ordinary Ming Dynasty general.

Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, to a large extent, because Yuan Chonghuan couldn't bear to have a team of men and horses under his command who did not listen to his command, and at the same time, he was extremely confident in himself, and felt that he could control Mao Wenlong's men and horses, and there would be no big problem.

It can be seen from Yuan Chonghuan's actions and words that this is a very, very confident person, even to the point of conceit. From another point of view, this is a representative of a person with low eyes and low hands, and a stupid reader.

Now there is no such war in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao has not transferred people, so there is no problem of empty troops.

What's more, he also brought 5,000 new troops over, and there are a group of generals who can fight by his side, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Cao Wenzhao.

With them by his side, Zhu Youxiao has nothing to worry about at all, and Xu Hongru's rebellion is even less of a problem.

When the matter on the Kong family's side has a result, Zhu Youxiao will be able to put his heart in his stomach, and Xu Hongru's rebellion will not be a big deal. For this, Zhu Youxiao has great confidence.

There was a mess outside, and all the news was spreading.

Xu Guangqi naturally heard about it, but after he heard the news, he didn't get much excited or resisted, but breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved expression on his face.

Zhang Weixian, who was sitting next to Xu Guangqi, saw this scene and said with a smile: "Elder Xu Ge is relieved. ”

"Although Your Majesty is not very old, his style of acting is quite old-fashioned, and it is I, as a courtier, who is too worried." Xu Guangqi said with emotion in his tone.

"Now, let's not worry about it. The affairs of the Kong family have come to an end, they have been completely trampled on the ground, and there is no room to turn over. ”

"As long as Your Majesty holds up the Southern Sect of the Kong Family, then the Northern Sect of the Kong Family will have no one to speak for them anymore. After being knocked out of the dust, it will not take a few years to be trampled into the dirt. ”

"If the Confucian family Beizong falls after the imperial court finishes cleaning up, it will still be a fat sheep to many people. Maybe no one will start in the early years, but this temptation is always there, and those who want to do it will not delay it for too long. ”

"At that time, the decline of the Confucian Northern Sect will become a fact."

Xu Guangqi can see this clearly, and Zhang Weixian can also see it clearly.

However, Xu Guangqi didn't mean to care at all, what he was worried about was never the Confucian Northern Sect, but His Majesty went to the opposite side of the scholars, worried that Daming would be in chaos because of this.

Now it looks like His Majesty's disposal method is mature and safe, no problem, even if someone is not satisfied, it is useless, and the grass on the wall in the court is very fast.

As long as there is the tablet of the Confucian family Nanzong, everyone will just hold it up directly, and the rest will not have to worry at all.

"British duke, there has been a rebellion over there, is it really okay for you to sit here with the old god here?" Xu Guangqi looked at Zhang Weixian and asked with a frown.

These days, Zhang Weixian has seen Xu Guangqi's liveliness. Now that Xu Guangqi's matter is over, it is his turn to run on Zhang Weixian.

It's just that when he said this, Xu Guangqi had a smile on his face, and the fact was that Xu Guangqi himself didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"Men have been dispatched." Zhang Weixian said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will be settled soon." ”

Zhang Weixian is very confident in quelling this rebellion.

His subordinates have already taken action, whether it is Sun Chuanting, or Lu Xiangsheng, or Cao Wenzhao and Wu Xiang, they are all first-class talents, and it is not a problem to quell such a rebellion at all. So Zhang Weixian is not worried.

"After the matter is settled, persuade Your Majesty to return to Beijing." After Zhang Weixian said this, he looked at Xu Guangqi with a serious face, and said slowly: "You can't go any further." ”

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi also nodded, and reached a consensus on this matter.

The two knew that Zhu Youxiao would definitely not be reconciled.

Regarding the emperor's departure from Beijing, the two probably had a guess in their hearts.

On the one hand, His Majesty came to Shandong to take a look, and on the other hand, he wanted to kill pigs.

The imperial court has no money, and His Majesty's internal funds are almost spent. In such a situation, there is nothing strange about coming out and making some money.

It's just that His Majesty came out in person, which surprised the two of them. However, it is also understandable that His Majesty is very strong today.

When the imperial court has a problem, it will make money in the local area, and it has always existed. At this time, it is expected to kill corrupt officials and punish a group of wealthy businessmen.

It's just that few people are willing to do this matter, and it is usually Dongchang and Jinyiwei who do it. Because civil officials cherish their reputation, and officials protect each other, it is difficult to do things that go too far.

Once Dongchang and Jinyiwei go down to get money, it will inevitably be full of complaints. Although everyone understands it, it is still necessary to scold.

It's just that His Majesty doesn't seem to want to see such a mess, so he personally went out.

On the ground in Shandong, His Majesty has brought down King Lu, and there is the Kong family. The benefits of these two companies are already enough, and in such a situation, there is no need to go any further.

This trip has already shaken the world, and there has been a rebellion and assassination. If you keep going, nothing will happen.

Things have to be done one by one, and since the money is enough, then it can be withdrawn.

The reason why Zhang Weixian discussed this matter with Xu Guangqi is also very simple. He alone is not sure to convince His Majesty.

Today, His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and the character of the emperor is also firm, and it is difficult to be persuaded of what he believes.

At the same time that Xu Guangqi and the two reached a consensus, a large army was marching towards Juye.

Since Xu Hongru issued a rebellion, the momentum has been very huge, and he has captured Juye and Yuncheng, and the number has swelled to more than 10,000 people, which can be said to have grown very rapidly.

Other leaders of the White Lotus Sect, such as Shen Zhi, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Khan Bai, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, and Meng Xianhan, also captured Tengxian, Zouxian, and Yixian (southeast of present-day Zaozhuang) and other county seats.

Now these rebel forces are heading towards the main road of Caoyun - Xia Town.

Once Xia Zhen is lost, their next step will be to attack Qufu, Yanzhou and other places. At that time, they will control both sides of the canal and cause very big trouble.

However, the imperial court had already prepared, and when the rebels were just rising, the army had already been dispatched.

At this time, this is a team of 10,000 people, led by Sun Chuanting.

On Sun Chuanting's side were Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Xiang.

This team was drawn near Jining and has been formed for a while.

Since Zhu Youxiao arrived in Jining, these troops were taken over by Zhang Weixian. These are basically the people who are responsible for leading these armies.

After this period of familiarity, although it is not a confidant army, nor can it be called like an arm, it is barely enough.

By Lu Xiangsheng's side, Liu Xian said slowly: "Shouldn't you reinforce Xia Zhen now?" ”

"After all, Xia Zhen is Cao Yun's main road, and if it is lost there, it will definitely cause Cao Yun to be nervous, and it will have a very big impact at that time. And now we go to attack Juye, and it seems that we have mistaken the direction of the attack. ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Liu Xian beside him, and said helplessly: "There is no way to do this, we say this doesn't count." ”

After saying this, Lu Xiangsheng also secretly glanced at Sun Chuanting, the leader of the team.

This order was given by Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting should be the only one who knows the situation.

"It's not that you can't go to Xia Town, but you can't save it."

Zhang Yu walked over at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "That place in Xia Town, I'm afraid it has been withdrawn at this time, and it should have been occupied by the rebels." ”
