Chapter 314: Self-Requested Temperance Rumors

After talking about the matter of money and property, Su Guanyue over there confessed, and then went directly to the inner hall from behind the screen, and now the things up and down the mountain are very busy, Zhao Xiucai saw that there was nothing here, and hurriedly quit and went busy.

Liu Twelve raised his head at this time, first laughed at Jiang Feng and said:

"My lord, I'm not used to restraining my subordinates like this!"

Jiang Feng took the letterhead given to him by Wang Qinian, and didn't pay attention to Liu Twelve's rare joke, the Jingshi at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even the people of Li are all kinds of political gossip, not to mention the news of local snakes like Wang Qinian and the Ma family brothers, they are even more well-informed.

At the beginning of King Jing's rebellion, there were still many rumors in the capital. However, the sudden disappearance of Wen Dao some time ago obviously made everyone relax their vigilance, and there are rumors that when Emperor Jiajing heard that King Jing had died at the hands of the thief army, he also said something like this to his cronies: 'It's good to die, such people who buy people with bad intentions are dead'.

But after Wendao and Liu Shisan's rebellion was suddenly occupied by most of Lunan, Emperor Jiajing was already furious, and the military department Shangshu had been reprimanded many times, and at the same time sent the steward eunuch of the imperial horse prison to Shandong to supervise the army, and the army of Jingying and the border army of Xuanhua were ready to open at any time.

However, there is no news about Jiang Feng, now Wang Qinian and those people in the Jingshi business group are very close, and the news is naturally well-informed, but the news about Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiajun is almost gone, as if he has forgotten him, and now most of the topics involving Jiang Feng in the Beijing Division are about the sale of human beings and the topic of reclamation, and some people have already had the idea of fighting the land and ports of North Korea.

And two months ago, that is, when Jiang Feng had just started to lay off his own soldiers and horses, all kinds of news about Jiang Feng's ill intentions flew all over the sky.

"Now the bigwigs in the court should not have any doubts about me Jiang Feng, our Jiang family army is to dismiss the soldiers in their hands at the risk of rebellion, presumably the emperor is very satisfied with my performance!"

Jiang Feng's words were a little harsh, he was naturally very dissatisfied with the dismissal of his soldiers and horses, and he had to use this method of expanding his territory overseas, of course, Jiang Feng never wanted to be bold, and the things he did were the reason for these troubles now.

Liu Twelve still smiled bitterly when he heard Jiang Feng's words there, the self-cultivation of the ancients was all about a 'cautious independence', that is, it was almost the same as what it was behaving in front of the public, this is one of the basics for the superiors to do, Jiang Feng's temper from modern times can't stand so many prohibitions.

Usually it is enough to be majestic outside, so he always behaves quite casually in front of his cronies, Liu Twelve once persuaded him, but it had no effect.

After a wry laugh, Liu Twelve said there:

"My lord, although the imperial court is now wholeheartedly in Lunan, but sooner or later it will find us, my lord, Thirteen is also your subordinate no matter what, and when the time comes, there will always be trouble!"

When Jiang Feng heard this, he patted the table with his hand and said in a deep voice:

"I want time, as long as the court doesn't move me within half a year, I will be much calmer in the future. But Liu Shisan's matter will be involved in me no matter what, and when the time comes, it will be that my majesty is not strict, although I am not afraid at that time, but some things will take longer. ”

After saying this, Liu Twelve said there:

"My lord, there is also the matter of North Korea, the unauthorized conquest of the vassal country is already a big crime to exterminate the clan, the lord should be judged, our sailors can already cross the sea, where the world is big, it is better to go to North Korea immediately, and concentrate on our foundations."

Since Jiang Feng was forced to lay off his troops and horses, although Liu 13 led the demobilized army to rebel according to Liu 12 and Jiang Feng's plan, and shifted the attention of the imperial court and Shandong to Lunan, Liu 12 was always worried about the safety of Dengzhou now, although most of the people and property were transferred to the past, but this also had another state, that is, most of the power transfer brought about the weakening of Dengzhou's defense.

If someone led an army to raid Dengzhou, it was likely to be a tragic situation, so he always persuaded Jiang Feng to leave Dengzhou early, and with 10,000 strong troops and absolute superiority in maritime power in Incheon, North Korea, the degree of security in that terrain must have been greatly improved.

Jiang Feng understood his thoughts very well, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"You don't have to worry too much about North Korea, Wang Yuqi, the head of the Beijing Business Group, wrote to me and said that now their guards and family soldiers are all over the road to Beijing, and it is impossible for the envoys of North Korea to enter Beijing, and there are people watching at the door of the Ministry of Rites every day."

The Jingshi merchant group and Jiang Feng belonged to the accomplice of the captivity of the population in Korea, and this time nearly 50,000 people were transported out of Korea, and now every merchant who has a reclamation estate outside the Guanxi is relieved, and next year there is finally no need to worry about the shortage of manpower, at least the timber trading houses and shipyards in the Guannai will be able to complete the timber orders this winter.

If the North Korean mission arrives in the capital and announces this matter, not everyone can afford this crime, but these people also understand that North Korea's Seoul is occupied by Jiang Feng, and from the king to the ministers, they are firmly controlled in their hands, so naturally they will not send a mission.

If it is a sporadic envoy, it will be directly extinguished halfway, so all the places on the border between Liaoning and North Korea are heavily defended, and if there are Koreans crossing the border, they will be killed immediately. The same is true for the Beijing Division, where foreign envoys can only enter Beijing through one channel through the Ministry of Rites, and many people are also closely watching there, for fear that they will slip through the net.

Jiang Feng is not worried about the situation in North Korea, now that a large part of the nobles in the capital have common interests with him through the sale of this slave, this relationship will naturally cover up for him. More importantly, Jiang Feng's absolute superiority in sea power ensured the absolute monopoly of the slave supply channel, and if you wanted to continue to need slaves, you had to buy and obtain them through Jiang Feng's channel.

Liu Twelve saw that Jiang Feng was not worried about the Korean problem, and directly jumped to the question of how to get rid of the relationship with the rebellion, Liu Twelve obviously had his own plan for this, and immediately said:

"My lord, no matter what, our Dengzhou is inseparable from this rebellion, Liu Shisan is the garrison under the adult, although the rebellion is because of the removal of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, but at this time, whether it is the military department or the yamen of Shandong, we must always find a scapegoat to come out, and now it is inevitable to put the responsibility on the adult."

With a "snap", Jiang Feng slapped heavily on the table and scolded:

"This group of bastards, do you have to force Lao Tzu to act early? It's time to see how they roll out the responsibility! “

Liu Twelve laughed a few times, obviously not taking Jiang Feng's angry words to heart, but just said to himself:

"Adults can go up to the fold right now and ask for a ...... to save him."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Feng's emotions quickly calmed down, and he scolded in a low voice:

"Adjust the defense, Lao Tzu's foundation is here, go to other places to be slaughtered?"

Then he smiled again, and said to Liu Twelve over there:

"You go on, our family is just complaining."

"My lord, our Jiang family army has never been defeated in Dengzhou and Shandong in the past few years, and it has always won every battle. We do have some things that have fallen into the hands of the imperial court, so we must be jealous of the imperial court, so the imperial court has all kinds of actions against us. Your Excellency has been dismantling troops and horses in recent months, at least in the eyes of those who are staring at us, you are cowardly and afraid, the recent chaos in the south, those people may think that you are not satisfied with the retrenchment, so you instigated trouble, anyway, we need not too much time, why not ask for the other province to delay a little longer! ”

"Adjust the defense of other provinces, what if the defense is really adjusted, it is better for me to ask for the abolition again, anyway, the rest are my family, don't worry."

"By all means, if you are in such chaos in Shandong, you still have to talk about the reduction of troops and horses, then it is not to show loyalty to the court, but to blackmail the court, my lord and rest assured, now is the time to employ people in Shandong, if the lord applies for the adjustment of defense, it will give the bigwigs in the DPRK and China an impression that they are weak and afraid of things, and then they will only blame you for evading responsibility, and everything will have to wait until Lunan is pacified."

Now strange rumors suddenly appeared in various parts of Shandong, saying that King Jing and his soldiers and horses were preparing to march south to seize Nanjing with an army of 200,000. This is a big joke, 200,000 young and strong, at least 100,000 households, the current Linyi and the surrounding more than a dozen prefectures and counties are 400,000 households, this conscription is not the waist to empty the local population, but this news is basically not circulated in the cities occupied by the rebel army around Linyi, but in other prefectures and counties in Shandong, the number of displaced people who have fled their hometowns has increased.

The army of the imperial court has long been deployed in various key roads inside and outside Shandong, and it will be so easy to get out of the province, but there are many rumors about the combat effectiveness of the chaotic army.

The army is fighting, and the unarmed people have no choice but to die, but now they can't run away even if they escape.

In the twelfth year of Jiajing, the whole of Shandong was in an atmosphere of panic, and the counties and prefectures in Yanzhou that had not suffered military disasters had already begun to move towards Dengzhou and Laizhou on a large scale.

At this time, there was a new rumor, saying that there were ships in Dengzhou Laizhou that could go to sea, and each person who went to North Korea would be granted 40 acres of land, but only 10% of the tax would be collected......
