Chapter 595: The Day of Fang La's Rebellion
Wu Zhi had completely controlled Kaifeng Mansion in his hands, so he didn't have to bother to burn three fires in Kaifeng Mansion this time.
However, in the eyes of the people of Bianjing, Wu Zhi, the new official of Kaifeng Mansion, took office with three fires, because Kaifeng Mansion has been punishing some corrupt officials almost every day recently, and the intensity can be said to be the most powerful in the past dynasties.
The people praised Wu Zhi, but they didn't know that Wu Zhi was just cleaning up Zhu Mian's old department in Bianjing, and since Zhu Mian was demoted, then Wu Zhi, the remnant of his remaining force in Bianjing, must be suppressed and eradicated as soon as possible. It just so happened that Zhu Mian's old Beijing officials were all unclean, and Kaifeng Mansion checked them one by one.
Cai Jing and Wang Huang, they turned a blind eye, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who has the right to stop Kaifeng Mansion Zhengyin from handling the case? Those officials who were targeted by Wu Zhi were convicted and exiled to remote places, and one of Wu Zhi's unlucky neighbors was relegated to the northwest by Wu Zhi to eat wind and sand, and the other was sent to Lingnan to eat miasma!
Finally took a bad breath for the girls!

Arashi-sama is back.
and added a large amount of silver to the treasury of Kaifeng Prefecture.
"My lord, it's been found out, Fang La is really going to rebel! He not only secretly recruited troops, but also secretly hid a large number of ordnance in the villa in Hangzhou! ”
That day, after Lord Lan desperately saved Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi regarded Lord Lan as his own. So this time, Lord Lan went to Jiangnan to copy the Zhu family, and Wu Zhi also gave him the secret task of secretly investigating Fang La, the leader of the Ming Sect. Wu Yong has often gone to Sichuan and Shu recently to develop the business of the Great Song Dynasty, and the dark group in Jiangnan is extremely weak, and Wu Zhi wants to know how far Fang La has developed, and he can only rely on various resources in the hands of Lord Lan.
"It's come to this!" Wu Zhi groaned: "It seems that there will be a rebellion soon......"
"My lord, do you want to report to the court to take countermeasures as soon as possible, and take Fang La off guard?" Arashi-sama suggested.
Wu Zhi asked rhetorically, "Why did Fang La's Ming Sect develop day by day? And on what basis did he rebel? ”
"My subordinates have also seen and heard about it in Jiangnan for half a month, and they know that the people in Jiangnan are mostly exploited by the Zhu family, and most of the members of the Ming Sect are people who hate the Zhu family to the core. Fang La's rebellion will naturally take the eradication of the Zhu family as its primary goal. ”
"So let's not report to the court first, and let Fang La rebel, if we don't, how can we kill Zhu Mian?" Wu Zhi raised his eyebrows.
"However, how can we let the people of Jiangnan fall into war for our own selfishness?" Arashi-sama was puzzled.
"You're wrong." Wu Zhi shook his head with a smile, "The reason why the people in Jiangnan are in dire straits is not entirely because of the oppression of the Zhu family, but also because of the countless officials under the influence of the Zhu family. If Fang La rebelled, in addition to destroying the Zhu family, he would never let go of the corrupt officials under the Zhu family's influence. However, in order to win the hearts of the people, they will never endanger the innocent people, but on the contrary, they will give the people all kinds of benefits to win them over. Therefore, we have to let Fang La, so that we can not only clean up Zhu Mian, but also carry out a big purge of Jiangnan officialdom and uproot the Zhu family! When the time comes, the imperial court will send troops to quickly quell the rebellion, which is the best policy. Otherwise, the law will not blame the public, and even if we kill Zhu Mian at that time, the court of the corrupt officials in Jiangnan will not be able to convict all of them, and they will still prey on the people at that time. ”
Wu Zhi paused and continued: "Besides, the Ming Sect has been preparing for rebellion for so many years, even if we inform the imperial court now, it will only force them to rebel in advance. ”
"Your Excellency is far-sighted, and your subordinates admire you!" Lord Lan clenched his fists at Wu Zhi, and said in confusion: "It's just that the Ming Sect is said to have millions of people in Jiangnan, why is your lord so sure that the imperial court will be able to quickly quell the rebellion?" ”
"Well, you'll know when the time comes!"
Wu Zhi smiled mysteriously, turned around and left in style.
"I wiped it, and said that I missed my mouth........."

……
In April, Tong Guan and the prince returned to Bianjing after completing their tour of the northwest. Both of them have merit, and the crown prince has been appointed as a prisoner before. And Tong Guan was already a very popular minister, and there was no way to be promoted again, so Zhao Ji simply sealed him as the Marquis of Anding. Since ancient times, most of the eunuchs who have been sealed are eunuchs, but Tong Guan currently seems to have great military achievements, and this border patrol does have the merit of consolidating the border defense, and he is not a thief, and there are few people in the court who oppose it.
Tong Guan's celebration banquet is naturally indispensable to Wu Zhi, and when Wu Zhi was seated, he was still second only to Cai Jing and Wang Huang's guests, and many princes and princes were compared, which shows that Tong Guan attaches great importance to Wu Zhi.
The reason why Tong Guan treats Wu Zhi so well is not only because he and Wu Zhi already have a friendship, but also because Wu Zhi helped Tong Guan persuade Zhao Ji not to send troops to Western Xia, and even retreated from hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in Western Xia, which really helped Tong Guan a lot.
Afterwards, Tong Guan and Wu Zhi had a long talk and told Wu Zhi that he was not going to the northwest to patrol this time to make a credit, he really went to deploy the northwest frontier defense to ensure that the northwest defense line could firmly defend against the attack of Western Xia at any time within three years.
And Tong Guan plans to use these three years to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun in the north!
Tong Guan even has a military plan to capture Yanyun almost listed, as long as this matter is initiated in the court, and after obtaining the consent of Zhao Ji and the hundred officials, he can gather troops at any time to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop.
The recapture of the sixteen states of Yanyun was thought about day and night by the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and Tong Guan had always had the final say in the military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, as long as he initiates a proposal, it will inevitably be passed by the DPRK and China soon.
Wu Zhi also expressed his approval and support for Tong Guan's proposal, the Liao-Jin War has been going on, the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi in the north has been driven to Mobei by the Jin State, and the land east of the Daxing'an Mountains has completely fallen under the iron hooves of the Jin people.
This is not the key, the key is that the area around the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Liao State was completely cut off from the central government of the Liao State, and was alone in the middle of the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the prince stationed in Yanyun was the prince who was assigned by the Liao Emperor, and he was surrounded by miscellaneous armies with less than 100,000 troops. The Jin State was bent on pursuing the main force of the Liao State, and had no time to take care of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and this was the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to capture Yanyun.
"After the autumn of this year, it will be the time when my Great Song Dynasty King will recover Yanyun!"
Tong Guan is full of pride, it is really difficult for him to be so manly as a eunuch.
Wu Zhi only kept admitting, but in fact, he sighed secretly in his heart, for Da Song, this year is indeed a godsend opportunity to recover Yanyun, but this opportunity Da Song is destined to not grasp.
For example, in the original history, when the Great Song Dynasty was preparing to send troops to recover Yanyun as soon as possible, the news of Fang La's rebellion came from the south of the Yangtze River.........
Now is no exception, Wu Zhi has even calculated correctly, when the Great Song Dynasty is ready to send troops to Yanyun in the future, it is when Fang La rebels.
The difference is that in the original history, after Fang La's rebellion, Zhu Mian was only dismissed and completely lost Zhao Ji's favor. And in the era of Wu Zhi, when Fang La rebelled, it was when Zhu Mian's head fell to the ground!
This is what Wu Zhi said.
