It is recorded in the Shangqiu County Chronicles of another time and space.

In the Wanli year, when Lu Qianjian was the commander of Shangqiu County, he encountered the Renwu Rebellion, and then the whole city was in ashes.

The year of Renwu is the tenth year of Wanli.

And Lin Yanchao arrived in December of the tenth year of Wanli to Shangqiu, the capital city of Defu.

Although Lin Yanchao is a traverser, he has never seen such local chronicles as Shangqiu County Chronicles in his previous life.

Therefore, he had no idea that Shangqiu would encounter this rebellion in history, and finally led to the 'ashes of the whole city' in Shangqiu, the capital city of Guide, and was 'abolished county' for more than ten years after that. In history, the homeless and hungry people ravaged and broke the city, only in the Chongzhen year, it was more common, in the early years of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was the prosperous time, how could there be such a thing, Lin Yanchao could not have imagined it anyway.

If Lin Yanchao had known this, he would have killed him, and he would not have come to Shangqiu to take up his post at this stall.

This day is the tenth year of Wanli, and it is also the last day of the year of Wanli Renwu.

The people in Shangqiu City put up lanterns and set off firecrackers.

Although there has been a great flood this year, the people living in the city are all big families, and as long as Shangqiu City is not flooded, this catastrophe will not benefit them.

The price of rice in the city has risen wildly, the price of rice is five dollars a bucket, and the price of wheat is three dollars a bucket.

You must know that at that time, one stone of rice was one tael, and one stone of wheat was only seven yuan.

Under such huge profits, although Su Yan repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed that the officials under the strict punishment decree did not dare to easily covet the relief grain, there were still many officials who took risks.

The officials are fat, and the hungry people outside the city can't eat, but the big families in the city don't have this worry, not only the master's family eats well, but even the hundreds or thousands of servants below are worry-free.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Originally, the government was sealed, and the general local yamen was sealed on the twentieth day of the twelfth month, but the Guide Mansion was delayed until the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth month.

At this time, the officials in the sixth room of the yamen should have been allowed to go home for the New Year, but under Su Yan's strict rule, many officials were still on duty.

The prefect, the same knowledge, and the general judgment are all foreign officials, and they all eat and live in the government office during the holidays, so it doesn't matter. But the officials in the government are all locals, looking forward to going home early, but on this day, the prefect still does not let go, so the six-room officials secretly greet all the eighteen generations of ancestors of the prefect.

However, Lin Yanchao appreciated Su Yan's move.

You must know that after the Yamen seal, most of the officials took a holiday and went home for the New Year, so they could not supervise the local government.

Therefore, there are old customs, the government seals, and the poor can't help but grab small things.

That is, if someone loots, as long as it is not a major property, the government will not pursue it on the day of the seal.

This is not only in the place, even if it is the Jingshi at the foot of the Son of Heaven, this is also the case, when the yamen is sealed, shameless people gather in groups of three or five, disturb the market, loot and beat the people.

Therefore, at this time, it is also a time when public security cases are frequent.

Under the strict rule of the Su, at least the city was kept on this day, and there was still much trouble. Therefore, Lin Yanchao was in the lobby of the government office, drinking tea with peace of mind.

Although he and Su Yan are not on good terms, everyone is still smiling on their faces.

Lin Yanchao is not such a tough person, after all, he is the prefect, and it is not wise for him to do it completely against him.

Lin Yanchao asked the master Qiu Mingshan to have a relationship with the prefect and the master to discuss big and small matters.

In the officialdom, it is also common for two officials to not be able to pee into a pit, and if they discuss in person, they often quarrel if they can't say a few words, and they will have to fight with each other. Therefore, the masters play a role, which is called 'the second master talks about the pound on behalf of the master' in the official language.

Therefore, in the government office, Lin Yanchao and the prefect do not talk for more than half a sentence, but there is no estrangement between the two in government affairs, and everything that should be done is done.

Although Qiu Mingshan is a villain, he is a local snake after all, and in the matter of pulling relationships, Sun Chengzong is not able to beat the horse. Therefore, thanks to the correspondence between the two masters, the relationship between Lin Yanchao and Su Yan did not continue to deteriorate.

After the official document was signed by Su Yanna, it was handed over to Lin Yanchao for signing, and the two of them were able to get things done without saying a word throughout the whole process.

Early in the morning.

The officials in the government had nothing to do, counting on when Su Yan would be gracious and let the officials go home for the New Year.

However, at this moment, a military general strode into the court and saluted Su Yan, who had corrected the official document after the public case: "The last general will return to the German battalion staff general Yu Dazhong, I have seen Lord Futai, I don't know what to call something?" ”

When Lin Yanchao heard this, he looked at Yu Dazhong, the general of the Guide Mansion.

But seeing the face of this military general, Zitang, wearing a water-mill chain helmet and wearing lock armor,

Lin Yanchao was accustomed to seeing the three major battalions in the capital, but he saw that this general was majestic, and echoed the image of a fierce general in Lin Yanchao's mind.

Su Yan opened his mouth and said: "Someone from Yucheng County has come to tell you that there are bandits in the territory, and they are even approaching the county seat. He was afraid that the small soldiers in the city would not be able to resist, so he asked for help. This government wants to order you to lead your troops and horses to drive away the bandits. ”

Yu Dazhong hugged his fists and said: "Qiqi Futai, it is the end of the year, and the soldiers have no intention of going to war, not to mention that the army has been in arrears for half a year, and if it is transferred at this time, I am afraid that the army will not be convinced." ”

"If the bandits hit the city, do the officers and soldiers in the battalion say that they have no intention of facing the battle? How do you manage the camp on a day-to-day basis? Su Yan asked rhetorically.

Yu Dazhong lowered his head and said: "Lord Futai, it's not that the last general doesn't want to go. How many thieves are there in Yucheng, and where are they distributed? The last general doesn't know anything, so it's better to send a detailed team to investigate clearly, and then send troops. If Futai is worried about the safety of Yucheng, it seems that although Yucheng is small, if a small group of thieves comes, it should not be a problem to defend the city. ”

Listening to Yu Dazhong's words, Lin Yanchao also felt that it made sense, the enemy situation is unknown, and it is a taboo for soldiers to go out of the city to fight without authorization, unless you have an absolute chance of winning.

Su Yan listened to the persuasion of others, and sneered: "General Yu, is it cowardice?" The last time the Lord Bingbei Dao came, you boasted about how brave your two hundred family members were, and the mansion was also honored, but now there are only a few thieves, and you are too scared to go out of the city. ”

When Yu Dazhong heard this, he showed a look of shame and indignation: "When I return to Futai, the last general is not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the last general will not sit in Fucheng, and Fucheng will be lost." That being the case, I implore the Lord of Futai to guard the city, and the last general will lead his family out of the city to kill the thieves. ”

Su Yan nodded and said, "This mansion will know that while the thief is not hot, Yu Shen will immediately go to exterminate this thief." ”

Lin Yanchao didn't object when he heard it, first, he and Su Yan were already at odds, and if he objected at this time, it would be of no benefit except to increase the unhappiness between the two.

Second, Lin Yanchao is also a 'light enemy', thinking that the bandit will not be very serious, after all, the probability of this is too low.

In fact, in the 32nd year of Jiajing, the people of Zhecheng led thousands of people to break the city of Guide, and then broke more than 20 prefectures, prefectures and counties, resulting in the largest peasant uprising in Henan during the Jiajing period.

But no one expected this situation at the moment, in the tenth year of Wanli in history, the rebellion that broke through Guide Mansion came as scheduled.

After Yu Dazhong left, the officers and soldiers led by him were ambushed by the bandits.

This bandit was not a hungry man, but a few of the most famous ringing horses from Shandong.

They were desperate in Shandong, and this time they took advantage of the freezing bottom of the Yellow River, so they went south to Henan to do a big vote.

At present, when Henan is full of hungry people, after these Shandong Xiangma crossed, they gathered hungry people to break Yu County, and then forced Yu County to write a letter to lure the German government to send troops to rescue.

As a result, the reinforcements led by Yu Dazhong were ambushed by Xiangma on the way, and the official army was defeated.

Then this group of thieves coerced the people to kill nearly 10,000 people to the city of Guide.

At noon, the officials in the yamen were finally allowed to go home for the New Year.

Even Lin Yanchao had no intention of waiting in the mansion, and at this moment, he saw several officials hurrying into the main hall of the mansion.

Lin Yanchao didn't care, and when he went to the back hall, he saw Qiu Mingshan walking forward, seeing that there was no one left and right, and said urgently: "Dong Weng, take a step to speak." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and walked with him to a hidden place, and then Qiu Mingshan said: "Dongweng's big thing is not good, Yucheng County has been broken by thieves. ”

Lin Yanchao was taken aback and asked, "What?" How did you hear this? Didn't Fuzun send the remaining generals to quell the rebellion? ”

Qiu Mingshan said in a hurry: "I don't know about this, I heard that the officers and soldiers of General Yu were defeated for some reason, and now the thieves are rushing to the city, and the thieves are very numerous." ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say in a deep voice when he heard this: "It's not good, then I will immediately report to the government and let him take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Qiu Mingshan grabbed Lin Yanchao, shook his head and said, "It's too late for Dong Weng." ”

"How could it be too late?"

Qiu Mingshan said: "The most elite men and horses in the mansion were taken away by Yu Dazhong, and now there are only guards in the mansion who can't fight, and it's a festival. What's more, the people of Futai have always been under the rule of law, and there have long been public grievances in the house. If the thieves kill the city, the victims who are not allowed to enter the city outside the city will be resentful, but they will join the thieves, how can they stop it. ”

"Therefore, I humbly invited Dong Weng, and when the news was still unclear, I left the city quickly, and it was too late to be late."

Lin Yanchao said angrily: "What are you talking about? Ben Cheng is the magistrate of this prefecture, and if he leaves his post without permission at this time, he will abandon the people of the city. If the court investigates it, my future will be ruined, and I will be imprisoned. ”

Qiu Mingshan said with a smile: "Dong Weng, the official of this mansion is the prefect, if he abandons the city and flees, it will definitely be a dead end." But Dong Weng is the same as the same knowledge, he is the second official, and he should not be responsible. Even if the court investigates it afterwards, it will be a minor crime. Dong Weng can deduce that he is ordered to inspect outside, the river workers or the people's customs, and make up a reason casually, there is no big crime if there is Shen Ge Lao speaking for Dong Weng above the temple. ”

"What's more, if the city is broken, the Lord of Futai will either die or go to prison. Dong Weng, you go and ask the reinforcements to return home, calm down the bandits, and clean up the mess. At that time, it is not guilty, but meritorious, so the officials of this government, Yidong Weng, you are the head of the horse, we can say whatever we want, and we also easily eradicated the political enemy of the Futai Lord, isn't this killing two birds with one stone? ”

Qiu Mingshan said a few words, and Lin Yanchao couldn't help but move, but he still said: "No, this is an escape from the battle, it is a shame to be in duty, and it is a shame to be ashamed of the people of this house." ”

Qiu Mingshan knelt down when he heard this, and wept and said: "When is the time for Dong Weng, if the city is broken, it will be burned with jade, not only the people in the city, but also the officials." Dong Weng doesn't think about himself, he also thinks about his family! ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart when he heard this, how should he choose at this time?
