On the seventh day of February in the second year of the Apocalypse, an earthquake occurred in Yanzhou, Jinan, and Dongchang in Shandong. Officials reported thunder everywhere, cracked ground, chickens and dogs chirping, and walls and houses collapsing. The earthquake even affected Henan Province, Kaifeng Province, and Guide Province in Henan. On the seventh day of the first month of March, another earthquake occurred in Jinan Mansion and Licheng in Dongchang Prefecture, and the earthquake occurred for three consecutive days, destroying countless houses.

On the 8th day of February, after receiving an urgent report, Zhu Youxiao immediately issued an order to Zhao Yan, governor of Shandong, demanding that all localities in Shandong first ensure that the victims of the earthquake have food and shelter, that those who died as a result of the earthquake should be buried in peace, and that local order should be restored to normal as soon as possible.

By the beginning of April, Zhao Yan reported that the disaster victims had been arranged, and they were all safe, asking the emperor to exempt the earthquake from paying taxes in various places. Zhu Youxiao issued an order to exempt the local tax and pay the bereavement pension by the Shandong locality.

In May, under the instruction of Zhu Youxiao, Chen Dadao, the left attendant of the household department, asked for mercy for Zhang Juzheng, the former university scholar, and listed his 20 merits. The emperor also believed that Zhang Juzheng had been an assistant for ten years, the world was safe, and "the merit was indispensable", and he was allowed to be reinstated, given a funeral, and his name was changed, and those whose houses had not been changed were allowed to live in the ancestral hall for their descendants.

At this time, Fang Zhongyi, the tenth grandson of Fang Xiaoru, came to Beijing with tribute and wrote to Fu Que. The emperor decreed: Fang Xiaoru is loyal to the festival, and he has a posthumous Yin, and he is allowed to be integrated with Lian Zining.

These two events gave the ministers a signal that the emperor was ready to turn over some of the previous cases, as far as Fang Xiaoru and Lian Zining when he became the ancestor, and as close as Zhang Juzheng of the Wanli Dynasty. If Zhu Youxiao wants to change the thinking of the ministers, he must first let everyone know that he is not afraid to revise the law of his ancestors.

This matter has just fermented, causing some people's depression or thinking, but has not yet formed a big impact, at this time Shandong emergency report, on May 11, the White Lotus Sect leader Xu Hongru led the White Lotus Sect in the Caozhou Mansion area to rebel. Hearing this news, Zhu Youxiao was surprised and delighted, and was shocked that the earthquake relief had basically been put in place, and now Shandong is not without food, so why rebel? The good news is that the Guards can finally engage in another real battle.

He ordered the governor of Shandong to guard all places first, and the guards came to quell the rebellion. Then the generals of the Guards were summoned, and everyone discussed the strategy of quelling the chaos in Shandong. After the last time the Guards fought a battle with Jiannu in Liaodong, their confidence increased greatly, and they felt that Jiannu was nothing more than that, not to mention the displaced people in Shandong, and now the people in Shandong are changing, and everyone wants to lead troops to fight.

This is obviously impossible, the purpose of setting up the Beijing camp was originally to defend the Beijing division, generally speaking, the Beijing camp is not out of Beijing, the last time I went to Liaodong was in the name of escorting Xiong Tingbi, and going to the southwest was also in the name of escorting Qin Liangyu, and now all the guards are going to fight in Shandong, don't think about it, the minister will definitely not agree. Therefore, only a part of the troops can be sent out, but the Shandong civil rebellion should only need a small number of troops to be pacified.

However, there was a dispute over who would lead the battle, Yang Guangkui did not fight last time, and this time he insisted on going to Shandong, and Yang Guanggao, who had fought last time, did not want to stay in the barracks for training, and wanted to go to Shandong again to make contributions. Soon there was a quarrel in front of the emperor. Only Man Gui was still running in with the soldiers of the Guards, but he did not ask for battle.

Zhu Youxiao knew that Yang Guangkui was soft-hearted, so he didn't send him to Liaodong last time, and he couldn't let him go to Shandong this time, but what about the rest of the people, if they don't go, they will definitely be unhappy, of course, they will not show it in front of themselves, but he still wants to train them and accumulate some experience for the next time he fights with Jiannu.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is necessary to pacify the rebellion in Shandong quickly, and not to let the White Lotus Sect in other places follow suit, the troops do not need a lot, please go and watch the battle." ”

There was another one more meat grabber, and all the generals of the Guards looked at the emperor with blank eyes, hoping that the emperor would send him to Shandong. Zhu Youxiao also felt troubled, so he had to comfort everyone that the expansion of the Guards Army would be carried out soon, and those who did not go to Shandong to quell the rebellion would definitely let him fight Jiannu next time, which made everyone quiet. The emperor decided that the good man Yang Guangkui would go to quell the chaos in Shandong, anyway, he was soft-hearted, and it was better to kill fewer people in his own country.

On May 13, the emperor decreed that Yang Guangkui was promoted to the commander of the Guards (Zheng Erpin), Yang Guanggao was promoted to the commander of the Guards (from the second rank), Zhou Yuji, Cao Wenzhao was promoted to the commander of the Guards (Zheng Sanpin), and Mangui was still the commander of the Guards (Zheng Wupin). Yang Guangkui and Cao Wenzhao led the troops to live in Shandong to quell the rebellion. Bachelor of Waiters (from the fifth grade) Lu Xiang was promoted to the rank of overseer.

Yang Guangkui and Cao Wenzhao took a cavalry battalion, two infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, and a baggage battalion, and set off for Shandong on the same day that the order was issued. In this way, there were only two battalions of regular soldiers left in the Beijing Division, and the Cabinet and the Ministry of War raised objections, feeling that the strength of the Beijing Division was too small, and there was a fear of unforeseen disasters. I believe it's enough to defend the Kyoshi. "The ministers can't tell the emperor that the Jingcao squad army actually has no combat effectiveness at all, and it is all garbage, so the emperor will say, why is it garbage? Why don't you usually say it? So I could only watch most of the Guards leave.

The textbook that Zhu Youxiao studied in his previous life told him that the civil unrest in Shandong was not a rebellion, it should be called an uprising, and it should be affirmed from a historical point of view, so he told the generals that as long as Xu Hongru was arrested, the rest could not be killed, and they could be dismissed. The generals (except for Yang Guangkui, who wanted not to kill any of them) did not dare to oppose although he slandered him, and took the order to go, Lu Xiangsheng proposed that his leader should be killed, but he was also vetoed by Zhu Youxiao.

Then the details were reported, Xu Hongru proclaimed himself Emperor Fulie of Zhongxing, changed the year name to the first year of Dacheng Xingsheng, named Chen Canyu as the right prime minister, and named his younger brother Xu Heyu as the king of heroes. Only then did he understand that it was not the officials who forced the people to rebel, but the cult rebellion, and they wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty, how can this be done, even if you are righteous, it is impossible for me to make you the emperor. At this time, the guards had already set out, and he immediately ordered someone to catch up with him and pass on the decree: all the important people involved in the rebellion should be killed unless they surrendered, and the first evil was tied up to the Beijing Division, and Ling Chi was executed and exterminated by the three clans. He also told the generals of the Guards that in the event of resistance, no matter who the opponent was, they should not be merciful and spared, but if the enemy surrendered, they should not kill the good and take the merit, and the Guards should not be judged by their heads. The generals of the Guards strongly supported this, which was certainly much better than the previous order.

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support! The author does not believe that the so-called uprising is correct.
