Chapter 233: Even More Unexpected Before the Spring Festival

Chapter 233: Even More Unexpected Before the Spring Festival

Chen Deaf has been dreaming like a dream for the past few days, mainly because the dozen or so people who control him have received orders from Dengzhou and have already returned to Dengzhou. The deputies are Chen Deaf's own backbone subordinates, but they can also control the hundreds of core people under him.

Since it was Jiang Feng's people who left, didn't he say that he could firmly control these elite subordinates, after all, nominally, he was still the big leader. It's a great thing that fell from the sky. I didn't expect that the excitement of this good thing has not been eliminated.

The second good news came again, and the whole of Shandong already knew that Jiang Feng had received an official letter from the Beijing Division to garrison Jizhen in the northeast of the Beijing Division more than ten days after Jiang Feng received the order. The salt merchants and salt lords who had already paid the silver money to Jiang Feng a few years ago were all angry.

Thinking that such a change, wouldn't it be that his money was spent in vain, but fortunately, Huang Ping made a promise, and Jiang Feng's various quotas could be realized here, which was the only way to stop the trouble.

Jiang Feng's departure gave Chen Deaf a huge surprise, which means that he is now the largest on the green forest road in Shandong, and the salt lords up and down Shandong have known the benefits of this order established by Jiang Feng in the past six months. Although Jiang Feng is gone, they also need a strong force to maintain this order.

Some time ago, Chen Deaf, who was calling for wind and rain in the Dongchang area of Yanzhou, Lunan Province, was the best choice, and everyone did not hesitate to spend the second money, and sent gifts to Chen Deafson's manor in Mengxian County in the name of New Year's goods. These things naturally made Chen Deaf happy, not only mastering the soldiers.

And if you have financial resources, you will naturally come to the door, and such a good thing will be found there.

Now it is business as usual in Dengzhou Mansion, and when Governor Wang learned the news that Jiang Feng was going to Jizhen to fight against the Tartar soldiers, he cried with joy in the arms of the little wife in the fifth room, thinking that you, the damned plague god, were finally leaving. Now it's finally time for me to raise my eyebrows.

For more than a year, what was done there was the prefect, and what was clearly done was the account office of the Dengzhou camp, and he didn't dare to speak loudly at all, and he had to act carefully.

But the next day, his thoughts were ruthlessly dispelled, Jiang Feng visited the various yamen in Dengzhou Mansion, and first said that he was about to go out to fight with foreign races, how could the eldest husband go out to fight with his family, so except for himself, everyone else stayed in Dengzhou.

In order to prevent the so-called Xiaoxiao, two hundred soldiers were left to take care of the family, and I hope that the adults will take care of them, which makes the prefect Wang's mind cool down again, two hundred soldiers to take care of it, that is, the force that no one can afford to offend in the entire Dengzhou Mansion City, not to mention that Mrs. Jiang is the daughter of Liu Shunhua, the governor of Zhejiang, where the offended people are, it is better to be honest.

The official document said that the 2,000 soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion were transferred to Jizhen to garrison, and the 2,000 soldiers changed their garrisons, and it was not a simple matter to trek the distance between the two provinces. Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office gave a month and a half to prepare, which happened to be the third day of the first month of next year.

Naturally, there are busy chickens and dogs jumping up and down, and when Jiang Feng was in this period, he also sent a letter to Lu Bing, the political envoy of Beijing, and Liu Shunhua, the political envoy of Zhejiang. The above first expressed his willingness to go to the battlefield to fight, the noble spirit of the horse leather shroud and his loyalty to the saints of today.

At the same time, he also said that if the war is over, he hopes to return to Dengzhou as soon as possible, after all, his family and foundation are here, and he still attached a silver ticket of 5,000 taels to Lu Bing's heart. The letter to Liu Shunhua is also very simple, let his father-in-law try his best to mobilize the relationship in the capital, it is best not to go, and secondly, if he can't block this order, at least ensure that he can return to Dengzhou after the battle outside the fortress.

After these two people received the letter, it was already the middle of December, although the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government were all in the mood to watch the jokes to see the handling of the two ceremonial eunuchs and eunuchs. But everyone will not be stupid to block Luo Jing and Zhang Zhinian's orders, in case they are hated by these internal officials, it is not a fun thing.

Although Lu Bing is a noble earl, but in order to offend the two great eunuchs who may be the minister in the future for 5,000 taels, he is also unwilling, but he only replied that he was willing to return to Dengzhou after the end of the battle, Jiang Feng could continue to return to Dengzhou to take up his post, and he knew more or less about the sale of private salt in Shandong, but it was also a common practice for officials to handle private salt, not to mention that Huang Ping, the younger brother of the great eunuch Huang Jin, was involved, so he simply opened his eyes and closed his eyes. Lu Bing's judgment that Jiang Feng was so reluctant to leave, presumably because the profits of private salt were too large, which was understandable.

Zhejiang political envoy Liu Shunhua will naturally not stand idly by for the sake of his son-in-law's affairs, but the only thing that can be counted on is that the Yu family has not made an accurate judgment on Liu Shunhua's political future, so even now they are relatives. But he still politely refused to talk to the eunuchs, but made a similar promise to Lu Bing.

The causes of many so-called major events are not economic and political problems of one kind or another, as modern historians have analyzed, but are more just misunderstandings.

Under the harsh weather of the cold winter, they desperately attacked the Mongolian Tatars at the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, and after paying enough losses, they finally gave up their plans to loot. Winter is also coming to an end, and the damage from freezing and starving is already enough for them to bear.

All they have to do now is to stick to the past winter and make plans when the spring flowers bloom. The soldiers of the border pass on the nine sides have achieved a lot of military exploits, at least the Tartar cavalry who froze to death on the grassland went up and chopped off their heads, which is also a military achievement.

Of course, everyone knows that after the Mongolian tribes recover their vitality in the spring and summer, they will definitely have a large-scale southward march. So it's also in full swing.

However, at this time, some of the officers and men who had been transferred from various localities were ready to be mobilized, and some were already on the road. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, we should not expect any smooth and rapid information flow, when the eunuchs knew that the border pass was "victorious", it was already the twenty-eighth of the lunar month.

If they win, they will let the officers and soldiers who are pulled out let them be pulled, and as for how difficult it is to walk on the road of the New Year, they will not do their business.

In fact, the drought in Shandong is far from recovering, although all localities are barely able to make ends meet. However, there are many, many bankrupt peasants who have no land to plant. There are more than 200 strong men under Chen Deaf, who are quite good in both riding and fighting, and these people are all trained by people from Dengzhou.

However, now it is controlled by Chen Deaf, and the more than 500 people he raised in Zhuangzi in Mengxian County, and his old subordinates when he was in the cottage in the north of Jinan Mansion are more than 20 people, and these people are much worse than the strong men trained by those people in Dengzhou later.

For more than a year, it is natural that trust is biased, in the opinion of many major events. They are all more adopted by Chen Deaf Zi's henchmen who won over these strong men, and among them, there are a few young people from Lunan who are the most trusted by him. These people were unable to live at home during the drought, and the land was also swallowed up by the local households, so they had no choice but to come out and fall into the grass.

Therefore, he deliberately went to make friends and win over some henchmen and cronies, and it was quite effective for more than a year, Jiang Feng wanted to transfer, and after the officers from Dengzhou followed him and left, he immediately used his former henchmen and cronies who had been attracted for more than a year to take charge of his team.

Among the young people from Lunan, there was a man named Wendao who planned a lot of things for Chen Deaf because his brain was very useful, and after Chen Deafzi's henchmen went to Wendao's hometown to verify, they trusted Wendao even more.

Now there are many people surrounding Chenjiazhuang outside Mengxian County, because Chenjiazhuang is recruiting Zhuang Ding today, and people around Mengxian County who have not been able to survive for many years have come to take refuge, which is also a plan to hear the knife, saying that next year Boss Chen, you will protect the private salt of the entire Shandong.

Now that these 500 people are already some of them are short of manpower, it is better to take advantage of the disaster year when the victims and poor families have nothing to do, gather more manpower and train them, which is certainly much more reassuring than driving those small green forest forces and ringing horses with different intentions.

Chen Deaf is not short of money in his hands now, and he is often worried about the lack of manpower in his hands, as soon as he heard this, he immediately agreed, now his appetite is quite large, as soon as Jiang Feng leaves, if his own people control the illegal salt trade in Shandong, what a prospect it should be.

The conditions given by Chenjiazhuang are very simple, as long as you join Chenjiazhuang, at least you will have enough to eat. If you do a good job, you still have money to get, which is a great thing, so Chenjiazhuang is crowded and abnormal, whether it is strong or thin, the old and the young are there to express themselves loudly.

It seems that the eldest daughter is going to throw a hydrangea and smash her son-in-law, Chen Deaf is sitting in a sheltered shed behind, drinking hot wine, baking a brazier in front of him, looking at the situation in front of him with a smile, he already sees his bright prospects for next year.

At noon, people were still gathering more and more, and suddenly, a few horses rushed from outside, and the people on the horses were all dressed as fast, and the horses had already run out of character, and there was no intention of slowing down to avoid the crowd, and more than a dozen people outside couldn't dodge, and they fell to the ground and were injured.

The crowd suddenly became crowded and chaotic, and immediately the catcher shouted loudly:

"Someone reported that the White Lotus Foolish Cult in Chenjiazhuang gathered, disperse quickly, otherwise you will all be taken to the official!"

Looking at this dress, it should be the catcher in the county yamen, although there are only four of them, facing the nearly 1,000 people below, they don't have the slightest look of fear, but they shout loudly and vigorously.

This is also in line with common sense, the kind of blood-devouring and ferocity of the White Lotus Sect at the beginning has almost disappeared in so many peaceful days, this kind of cult gathering, as long as four or five horseback hunters come to catch fast, and shout a few voices outside, they will be scared away. The scene quieted down for a moment, the White Lotus Sect's cult gathering, this crime can be big or small, and in the big direction, it is okay to kill the head and destroy the door.

Everyone present was looking for a job in Chenjiazhuang, and when they thought that they suddenly got in touch with Bailian, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted:

"This year's disaster, the land was sold to Lizheng, the children in the family starved to death, and when they came to Chenjiazhuang to find a job, they all said that it was the White Lotus Sect, which is not called a life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the family of the person who came to find a job in the month of Layue must have been a poor person who had been tossed enough in this small disaster year, and when he heard someone shouting, he immediately followed the noise.

Several catchers had already rushed into the crowd, and when they heard this shout, they couldn't help but look at each other, could it be that the person who went to the yamen to complain was wrong. But the people around are already crowded, and a few fast catches are also rampant, thinking that Lao Tzu is wrong if he says wrong, if he doesn't take you, it will be a big crime to say that you gather people to plot misdeeds. They drew their whips and whipped them in all directions.

This aroused the anger of the crowd, the crowd pushed and shoved but was afraid of the whip and did not dare to approach, and the catcher was even more proud on the horse, but saw a few people around him staggering out, as if they were pushed out by the people behind, and the whip of the catcher naturally would not let go, and he pulled it hard.

However, it seemed that he couldn't stop his tracks, and he rushed over despite the whip.

Chen Deaf, who was in the shed at the back, stood up when the catchers appeared, he still had some financial friendship with the local magistrate, and he saw the catchers coming over and shouting what 'White Lotus' made a mess, and his heart was suddenly angry, and he was just about to stand up and theorize.

I saw the horses in the crowd neighing, the people stood up, and the catchers were all dragged down. Chen Deaf jumped to his feet in a hurry behind him, and was about to shout for his subordinates to go in, but he heard exclamations from the crowd, and then someone shouted:

"Killed the officer!"

"Killed the officer!"

"Folks, no one can get rid of it when we come here today, go home and starve to death, kill your head is also death, let's go to the county town to open a big household, and be a full death!"

More than a year of suffering and depression finally broke out at this time, Chen Deaf was dragged into Zhuangzi by his subordinates, and more than a thousand poor people outside flocked towards the county seat. Chen Deaf was already panicked, and said in a loud voice:

"What to do, what to do."

"There are too many shady things in our Zhuangzi, and today's incident will sooner or later provoke a large number of officers and soldiers, and then we will be all finished."

Wen Dao said in a cold voice there, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and the subordinates around him shouted one after another:

"If you don't do it, let's just wash Mengxian, Boss Chen, our brothers can't go there!!"

Ten days later, that is, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the 800 miles of the Yamen of the Third Division of Shandong Province rushed into Beijing:

Shandong Yanzhou mob rebellion!!
