PS: Thanks to Yunfei for the two monthly passes.

……

When Zhu Youxiao was preparing to reorganize the army, he received a small letter. Zhu Youxiao decided to make a detour to Kaifeng Mansion and deal with the matter in Henan first.

And the defeated rebels were on the verge of collapse after hearing the news of the loss of Tongguan. The loss of Tongguan meant that most of the people here could no longer return to Shaanxi. With no way forward, there are pursuers behind, and in such a desperate situation, the rebels have different ideas.

"My lord, now that Tongguan has been lost, we will definitely not be able to go to Tongguan, and we may not be able to go back to Shaanxi, we might as well simply forget it, tie up Prince Su, and send it to Your Majesty, I may be able to redeem the merits." It was Li Zicheng who spoke, and now the rebels are a general.

Due to the change of history, the rebellion of Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, led to the chaos in Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng killed the creditor Ai Zhao in advance, and his wife Han Jiner and nephew Li Guo joined the rebels together. In the rebels, he was appreciated by Li Guo and was promoted to general manager.

"Li Zicheng, if this matter doesn't work out, you will lose your head." Li Guo said.

"My lord, now that Tongguan is lost, there is no way out, and there are 50,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court chasing after him, and now they are all dead, I thought it was better to give it a go, at least the chance of success is relatively large." Li Zicheng said.

"Why do you have a better chance of success?" Li Guo asked.

"My lord, since I learned that Tongguan was lost, our army has been in a desperate situation, morale is low, people are uneasy, except for Prince Su, who does not want to surrender to the imperial court? Adults only need to raise their arms and exhale, and I believe that they will obey everything. Li Zicheng explained.

"Let me think about it again." Li Guo said.

"My lord, if you want to do it tonight, I will guarantee with my life that this will happen." Li Zicheng persuaded him.

……

Li Guo was finally moved by Li Zicheng's words. That night, Li Guo led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to launch a mutiny, and things went as smoothly as Li Zicheng expected, the rebels had completely lost their fighting spirit, and Li Guo's mutiny even won the support of many people, and Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, was easily captured by Li Guo.

After capturing Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, Li Guo immediately sent someone to contact Zhu Youxiao and ask for surrender to the imperial court.

Zhu Youxiao now doesn't know that Su Wang Zhu Zhihong has been captured by his own people, and he is dealing with Henan affairs in Kaifeng Mansion at the moment.

"Zhang I continued, you are really good as the governor of Henan, the price of grain in Kaifeng Mansion has risen to the sky, and you, the governor, don't even care." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

Zhang I continued to be a good official when he was young, but in his later years, he used his identity as Wei Zhongxian's nephew to cling to Wei Zhongxian. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is an identity, status, and assets, people take concubines, and those who do not accept concubines are almost rare, and even if they are sixty or seventy years old, the age of the concubines is generally under twenty-five, and officials with hundreds of wives and concubines like Zhang I Xu are definitely rare, and among his wives and concubines, one of them is Wei Zhongxian's niece.

"The minister should die, the minister will deal with this matter immediately." Zhang I continued to kowtow and said.

"You don't have to deal with this matter, you can go to the prison and stay." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your s......ins," Zhang continued to plead. It's just that as soon as he said two words, he was dragged down by Jinyiwei.

"Henan's Yushitai can't handle the corruption case in Henan, so let Yang Lian investigate it himself." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No." Wang Liqian bowed and said.

"Promote Henan Zuobu political envoy Wang Yuli as the governor of Henan." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Commander Longen!" Wang Yuli stood up and said.

"I think that we must not tolerate grain merchants who bully and dominate the market, hoard, and raise prices, and we must strictly deal with those who refuse to change their ways." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Wang Yu bowed and said.

"I decided to establish the Jinan Governor's Office, reorganize and command the military forces in Shandong and Henan provinces, Yuan Keli served as the Governor of the Governor's Office, the Shandong Navy Division and the Qihuo Army were transferred to the Jinan Governor's Office, the Admiral of the Begging Army continued to be served by Sun Chuanting, Liu Xingzuo was appointed as the Admiral of the Shandong Naval Division, and the Governor of Shandong was served by Yue Junsheng." Zhu Youxiao said. Shen Yourong, the former admiral of the Shandong Navy, passed away last year, and Liu Xingzuo has been temporarily replaced by Liu Xingzuo.

"No."

……

Zhu Youxiao thought that when the class returned to Beijing earlier, he had to deal with the affairs of Henan quickly.

"Xiaoxiao, there will definitely be food to buy tomorrow when it is opened." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Xiao Xiao bowed and said.

"There's no need to thank me, you are dedicated to public welfare, and I will definitely support it." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, this matter can be done, it all depends on the support of the emperor, as well as the help of Lord Luo and Shopkeeper Mao, Xiao Xiao dare not take credit." Xiao said modestly.

"I heard that you brought Mao Yaoli here, so let him in." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Xiao Xiao said happily.

Xiaoxiao specially brought Mao Yaoli to see Zhu Youxiao this time, mainly to thank Mao Yaoli for his help. And Mao Yaoli heard that he could see Zhu Youxiao, so he waited outside the door early in the morning to summon him.

"Grass people Mao Yaoli knocked on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Mao Yaoli said excitedly and nervously.

"Flat, give a seat." Zhu Youxiao said.

Mao Yaoli sat nervously on the stool, and Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I listen to Xiao, you have made great efforts to help the displaced people this time, and I am very pleased." ”

"This is the duty of the grass people, and everything is the credit of the little girl." Mao Yaoli said nervously.

"For such public welfare undertakings, I want to vigorously support, for people and things that are enthusiastic about public welfare, I will arrange for the "Ming Imperial Daily" to report, and I plan to award a person who is enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings as a baron every year, Mao Shopkeeper has to work hard!" Zhu Youxiao said. Although public welfare is a new term, through Xiaoxiao, Mao Yaoli already knows what it means.

"The grass people are willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver this time, no, 50,000 taels of silver to help the displaced people in Henan." Although Mao Yaoli was very nervous, as a successful businessman, he could hear Zhu Youxiao's meaning at once.

"It seems that Shopkeeper Mao is also a businessman who is enthusiastic about public welfare, but my donation is disrespectful, this donation will be collected by Xiaoxiao, and I will not accept it directly." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No." Xiao Xiao bowed and replied.

"Do you know the Da Ming treasure banknotes issued by me?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The grass people have heard of it, and they are fortunate to have seen it." Mao Yaoli replied respectfully.

"What do you think of the new treasure banknotes in Shanxi? Do you think you can pass through the entire empire? I want to hear the truth. Zhu Youxiao emphasized.
