When the flames of war became more and more fierce in the vast area of Ningjin and the grassland, Zhu Youzhen, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was unprecedentedly angry.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen had focused all his attention on the Ningjin battle in Liaodong, which was getting bigger and bigger.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen had already decided that before the Ningjin War ended, everything would be focused on the Ningjin War. Da Ming's other affairs, he turned a blind eye to all of them, and didn't ask questions for the time being.

However, when the imperial court received the latest report from the Shaanxi officialdom and the cabinet happily came to ask for credit for the Shaanxi officials, Zhu Youzhen still couldn't hold back his anger.

In the report sent by the Shaanxi officialdom to the imperial court, the county seat of Chengxian County, where the riot occurred, had been recovered by the heroic Ming officials and troops in a desperate battle. Like the bandits in Cheng County, they have been wiped out by the heroic officers and soldiers.

The anti-bandit officers and troops now occupying Cheng County are actively preparing for food and wages. Once the food and salary are ready, the officials and troops who suppress the bandits will immediately sweep away the rebellious people Wang Er, who caused trouble in Baishui, in one fell swoop.

These reports of Shaanxi officialdom do seem to be good news worthy of being invited.

But Zhu Youzhen, who has two secret channels of night primrose and brocade guard, is not the innocent Chongzhen who does not know the depth of foreign affairs in the history of his previous life.

Zhu Youzhen knows very well that reporting good news and not bad news has been a common practice in officialdom since ancient times. But your Shaanxi officialdom is full of joy, and you don't even report a little worry, that's a little too much.

Shaanxi officialdom and the Ming Cabinet didn't know that the Shaanxi intelligence sent by Ye Laixiang and Jinyiwei had actually been sent to Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen knows the current situation in Shaanxi even more comprehensively than they do.

Zhu Youzhen knew that there was a plague in the county seat of Chengxian County, and the entire county seat was already empty. The so-called recovery of Cheng County by the Shaanxi bandit army actually did not engage in any battle at all. The officers and soldiers just marched easily, and easily entered the city to clean up the wreckage in Xiacheng County.

Zhu Youzhen also knew that the so-called bandits in Chengcheng County, but in fact, apart from cutting down some unarmed victims, the officers and soldiers did not catch any of the real bandits.

Zhu Youzhen also knew that the so-called active preparation of food and wages by the officials and troops to suppress bandits was actually in the township of Cheng County. I don't know how many people in Cheng County, who could barely survive, but they were forced to become displaced by these bandit officials and soldiers.

As for what the Shaanxi officialdom said, the officials and troops who have raised all the food and salaries to suppress the bandits will immediately start to sweep away the Baishui bandit Wang Er. Zhu Youzhen believes that the officials and troops may not be able to raise all the food and salary this year.

Shaanxi officialdom will report good news and not bad news, and Zhu Youzhen has actually been prepared in his heart. Due to the lack of strength in his hands, in order to fight the Ningjin battle with all his might, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to pay attention to Shaanxi for the time being.

However, the mutiny of the Ming army concealed by Shaanxi officialdom made Zhu Youzhen's suppressed anger no longer be suppressed.

Zhu Youzhen has always believed that the most direct factors that led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty were the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong and the later peasant uprisings of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the huge peasant uprising of the Ming Dynasty began in Shaanxi of the Ming Dynasty, and it was launched in the second uprising of the White Water King.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Youzhen pays special attention to Shaanxi.

Zhu Youzhen knew very well that the main reason for the peasant uprising was that the peasants were overwhelmed and could not survive at all.

However, in the face of the accumulation of difficulties and the climate of the Xiaoice River, the Daming rural system has faced complete collapse. Zhu Youzhen never believed that a single administrative order, or just a little accumulation of his experience in the past few years, could relieve all the peasants who were about to revolt.

The peasant uprising could not be avoided, and what Zhu Youzhen wanted to do was to minimize the damage of the peasant uprising to the Ming Dynasty.

In order to reduce the damage of the peasant uprising, it is first necessary to reduce the combat effectiveness of the peasant army.

Zhu Youzhen knew that the combat effectiveness of simple peasants was very low. Historically, the peasant armies that were powerful in the Ming Dynasty were actually enriched by a large number of Ming officials and soldiers, so that they had the combat power that could destroy the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen negotiated with Wei Zhongxian, and as soon as he got the power of Kaizhong, he first laid out Liaodong and Shaanxi.

In the layout of Liaodong, Zhu Youzhen tried to strengthen the strength of Ning Jinming's army as much as possible, so as to attack Houjin as much as possible. Now on the battlefield of Ningjin, Zhu Youzhen's arrangement has achieved great results. With Zhu Youzhen's strong support, the strength of Daming and Houjin has changed significantly.

If the layout of Liaodong is an attack, then the layout of Shaanxi is for defense.

Giving priority to the layout of Shaanxi, Zhu Youzhen is to keep as much of the Ming army as possible in Shaanxi. He wanted to prevent the Ming army in Shaanxi from being easily dispersed to the rebellious peasant army due to the lack of food.

But now, Zhu Youzhen has put so much effort and resources into it, but there is still a mutiny in the Ming army in Shaanxi, isn't this obviously challenging Zhu Youzhen's nerves and slapping Zhu Youzhen in the face? How can you make Zhu Youzhen not angry.

What made Zhu Youzhen even more angry was the news from Ye Laixiang and Jinyiwei that the mutinous Ming army was the least likely unit to mutiny.

Who would have thought that the poor and miserable Ming troops in Shaanxi did not mutiny, but the direct pacesetter of Shaanxi Governor Qiao Yingjia mutinied?

What is a Governor Pacesetter?

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the governor pacesetter is a pro-army guard responsible for guarding the safety of the governor.

The governor is the highest-ranking civil official in the Ming province (the higher governor is the one who governs several provinces), and the pro-army guard, the head of the civil officials of a province, will mutiny? It's like a strange thing to say, and it's unbelievable.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen understood that the mutiny of the governor pacesetter, who should not have mutinied the most, must be the result of the internal contradictions in Shaanxi officialdom having intensified to the point of irreconcilability.

It's just that Zhu Youzhen is difficult to understand, although most of the Ming Dynasty's governor pacesetters are only responsible for security and honor guards, they rarely really go into battle to tear them up. But in any case, the governor pacesetters were also regular troops who had been trained. Shaanxi officialdom is doing this, so they are not afraid of provoking fire?

You must know that the governor pacesetter is not only an army, it is also an army stationed in the suburbs of the capital of Shaanxi and is relatively well equipped.

Conniving at the mutiny of such an army in a vital position? Isn't the Shaanxi officialdom afraid, not afraid that if one mistake or one misoperation is not good, the mutinous governor pacesetters will completely get out of control and turn into a rebellion?

Rebellion, even if the rebels can't conquer Xi'an City, but if there is a rebellion in the provincial capital, then the whole province of Shaanxi is very likely to be completely eroded.

At that time, all the efforts made by Zhu Youzhen in Shaanxi will come to naught. The peasant uprising in Shaanxi will be more ferocious, more violent, and more unstoppable.

When I think of that kind of scene, no matter whether the Shaanxi officialdom is afraid or not, Zhu Youzhen is afraid anyway.

And such a dangerous incident, Shaanxi officialdom did not mention a single word in the recital. How can this suppress the anger in Zhu Youzhen's heart?

Damn, these rotten bureaucrats, they're all damn bad!

The angry Zhu Youzhen smashed the most authentic Ming royal color pattern bowl in his hand for the first time.
