Chapter 80: Ugly
Just as everyone was eating dog in the lobby, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the yamen. All the officials gave up dog-eat-dog, and one by one their faces turned pale and trembled, because all the people thought that the rebels had come to the door. So one by one, those who got under the table, those who ran to the toilet for refuge, and those who took a flower pot to cover their heads were all sorts of things, which were really ugly.
Just when everyone was full of ugliness and panic, Feng Ru and Feng Ji, the factory guard brothers who had just walked out, returned to the lobby with a surprised face.
When he saw the hundred opera performances in the lobby, he anxiously began to look for the eunuch and the political envoy, but found that there was no one for a long time.
Li Xianling found out that the situation would improve, so he turned out from behind a pillar, his face was calm and calm, and he bowed to the two people: "Why did the two of you go and return?" ”
Feng Ji grabbed what was still a calm thing here, and asked anxiously: "Where are the father-in-law and the political envoy of the town?" ”
Li Xianling replied calmly: "Just now, the two Shangxian went to other yamen to appease the officials, and they just walked less than half a cup of tea. Then he pricked up his ears and listened outside, but it was not shouting and shouting and killing, but vaguely came the slogan of "loyalty and patriotism, quelling chaos and protecting the family", and his heart was stable at that time, showing a more calm and calm.
Feng Ru stomped his feet in disappointment, but this disappointment was obviously a kind of relief. Then he shouted to the officials who were pouring in on the fart: "Fellows who are as timid as rats, your lives have been saved for the time being, because someone outside has organized volunteers and has quelled the rebellion in half of Hangzhou City, so everyone can climb out." ”
Although the tone was full of ridicule and contempt, hearing the good news that could save their lives for the time being, the officials who were hiding in all corners, under the tables, and in the toilets, returned to the lobby one by one.
And when they determined that there were two or three thousand volunteers from Hangzhou outside, and determined that the situation outside had been controlled, all the officials began to pat their chests and say that they were going out to kill the enemy, so don't go out to quell the chaos. All of them must strive to be the first, ready to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and do whatever it takes for this old empire.
The successive ugly performances simply made Feng Ru feel disgusted.
At this time, Feng Ji and Feng Ru glanced at each other, Feng Ru bowed and said: "Outside the righteous and brave, there will be no major disaster in Hangzhou, let's go and complete our task." ”
Feng Ji smiled: "Of course." ”
As soon as they heard that these two did not go to quell the chaos but still went to negotiate with the rebellious army, the officials at that time were even more happy, as long as they had 2,000 volunteers and braves, they could quell the chaos and atone for their crimes, who would be willing to give up this great opportunity? So they stepped forward one after another to ask for righteousness and courage to quell the chaos.
As a result, Feng Rufeng laughed: "The volunteers outside have been absorbed by my Dongchang and Jinyi Guard, we are going to take them to the barracks to suppress them, since you have such a heart to calm the chaos, please go with you." ”
Hearing this, all the officials at that time were stunned with wide eyes.
Feng Ji gloated: "The people outside have moved, you can also go out and climb the heights to shout, there must be a large number of responders, so the great work will be handed over to you." ”
At that time, all the officials were once again looking for toilets under the tables, behind the pillars, and in the thatched huts.
The people of the world have been suffering from corrupt officials for a long time, especially this time they were forced out of a mutiny, and the people hated their own group of people. Don't say that if you raise your arms and shout, that is, when your own people walk out of this yamen, the people will immediately gather, but they definitely do not respond to quell the chaos, but directly pacify their own people.
When everyone was in confusion, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in from behind, looked around, and saw Feng Ji of Dongchang, and hurriedly stepped forward to see.
Feng Ji saw that he was a cronie and little eunuch who followed his godfather to guard the eunuch's side, and he was also the godfather's godson, so he hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Brother, but what guidance does the godfather have?" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "Brother, my godfather just heard that there were two thousand volunteers coming, and he was very relieved at that time, and said that the rebellion in Hangzhou Dongcheng had not been extinguished, and the godfather took people to receive the volunteers from the east and commanded them to quell the chaos. But I warn you, if you can, try not to clash with the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion. ”
Feng Ji frowned. went to the ninth battalion to negotiate, and the two of them went with a mortal heart, but as soon as they came out of the yamen, they bumped into the two thousand volunteers brought by Mao Yulong, and the two people's minds changed, and they were ready to take these two thousand people to directly sweep the nine battalions one by one, break them down, and completely quell the rebellion. But now the godfather has let the two of them calm the chaos but not let the conflict start, which is really embarrassing.
But from this point, it can also be seen that the godfather is ready to settle this rebellion in a peaceful way.
But when you think about it, it's clear.
In recent years, the mutinies of soldiers have almost emerged one after another, just in the third year of the Apocalypse, there were mutinies in the Chu army in western Liaoning, the mutiny in the Ganzhou Guard, and the mutiny in Honglongbao on the three sides.
But the means of dealing with these mutinies are the same, beheading the local governor or prefect to appease the anger of the mutinous soldiers, and then carrying out gentle means to not hold these mutinous soldiers accountable, and then slowly splitting them apart.
Of course, this is also a last resort. The soldiers' mutiny was originally forced by the imperial court, and if they were entangled in the guilt of their mutiny, it would be tantamount to forcing them to truly rebel.
Now Daming is already fireworks everywhere, and the poles and rogues continue to make trouble, if you add these desperate mutinous officers and soldiers, the situation will be more difficult to clean up, and it will make the situation of Daming worse. Try not to let the regular army join the rogue pole, and let the rabble of the rogue pole become organized and combative, this is the current cabinet chief assistant Ye Xianggao's steady way of seeking the country, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also thinks so.
So now it seems that the godfather and the eunuch are also ready to do this, and they should indeed do it. Not to mention that the imperial court actually owes these soldiers, and once they are really forced to be in a hurry, these chaotic armies will be scattered to the countryside and go to the Wuthering Mountains and forests, then this heavily taxed land in the south of the Yangtze River will be expensive. Now, a rebellion in the south has already caused the entire southwest to erode, and there must be no more chaos here, otherwise the imperial court will be difficult to take care of, and the consequences will be infinitely dangerous.
It seems that the godfather can sit in this position of guard, and his overall vision is really ten thousand times stronger than his own people.
After admiring it, he asked solemnly: "What else does the godfather command?" ”
The little eunuch glanced at the officials who were standing around him, stretching his neck to listen to the news, and said with a contemptuous face: "Father-in-law ordered, this time, you will be escorted to the prefect and the commander, as well as the garrison of the ninth battalion barracks." ”
As soon as these words came out, there were two sounds of falling to the ground. This is to take their sacrifice flags, and now everyone is really desperate.
The little eunuchs didn't even look at them, and for the civil officials, a group of eunuchs were hostile to them in their hearts, and they wished that all the civil officials in the world would die.
"The father-in-law also instructed that the Qiantang County Commander should not panic in case of trouble, be capable and calm, and the government will temporarily let him sit in charge."
There was another sound of falling to the ground, and everyone could see that it was the Qiantang County Order struggling on the ground.
But this person is indeed a talent, not to get up in embarrassment, but to kneel on the ground and kowtow in the direction of Beijing, of course, everyone knows that he is hiding the embarrassment of being too excited, but who cares about this at this time? Everyone is in danger of crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect themselves, and they can only envy this Li County Order.
Li Xianling knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the north repeatedly, shouting in his mouth: "The minister must be loyal to the country." ”
Feng Ji smiled, this guy was not overjoyed yet, and he knew that his head had not yet been promoted to the prefect, and he still knew how to advance and retreat. In this way, in this group of bastards, he is still a talent.
Of course, this so-called talent is just a dog found in the flock, and compared to the fifteen-year-old child outside, it is a world of mud.
