Yang Yinglong's face only frowned slightly, as if he was blaming He Cheng for spitting out black blood that had polluted his hall, and then nodded disapprovingly: "Now that you finally understand, it's not like being a fool, this is also my heart for you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You ......" The sharp pain in his abdomen, coupled with the anger and fear in his heart, made He Zhifu's entire body tremble like a withered leaf in the autumn wind. I saw that he tried his best to point to the Yang Tusi in front of him, who still looked gentle as jade, and the fire in his eyes was about to burn the other party to ashes. But the next words, not a word, the black blood that kept pouring up from it had filled his throat and mouth. The only thing he can do is to fight to the death with this ill-intentioned murderer while he still has a little strength.

Thinking together, He Cheng, who was cautious in the past, kept spitting out black blood while viciously rushing towards Yang Yinglong, and at this moment there was only one thought left in his mind, to kill the guy in front of him.

It's a pity that although He Zhifu, who is highly poisoned in his body, has done everything he can, his movements are so slow in Yang Yinglong's eyes, seeing him pounce, the latter just frowned slightly, and then turned his body and dodged away. And He Cheng's body, after a single swoop, leaned forward completely uncontrollably, and slammed into the table, overpowering the table made of fine mahogany.

"Snapping ......" With this movement, the subordinates and guards who had been waiting outside the hall hurriedly broke in, and when they saw the scene of the chairs in the hall overturning, their hearts were tight, until they found that their own toast was standing aside, but the prefect fell to the ground, and they were relieved. Then, they rushed up and pressed He Cheng, who was still struggling and convulsing, to prevent him from making any threats to his master again.

Then, Hou Chang also hurried over, and when he saw Yang Yinglong, he said with some complaints: "Master, you are too risky today, if you want to get rid of this person, you only need to send a sentence, why do you want to do it yourself?" ”

Yang Yinglong's gaze quickly swept over everyone, and then he said lightly: "Because I want to tell everyone that I have rebelled against the determination of the Ming Court to raise troops this time." Now, I, the toast, have personally killed a court official, so the people below should believe in my determination, right? ”

"This ......" Hou Chang didn't expect his master to have such far-reaching considerations, it seems that as long as Yang Yinglong makes up his mind to do something, he will definitely take things to the extreme. Then, he reacted quickly and immediately bowed down: "The villain takes the order." "What he, the chief steward, has to do next, is not only to prepare for all kinds of logistics and other things after the rebellion, but also to quickly spread the news that Master Tusi personally killed the prefect of the imperial court to clarify his intentions.

Yang Yinglong was still very satisfied with his reaction, so he nodded, and then said, "You don't have to wait any longer, let everyone move." ”

"Yes!" Hou Chang agreed again, and then led people out in a hurry to give an order to completely capture several other high-ranking officials in the city. While they were making this arrangement, the house slaves under their hands had already quickly come in and dragged out the body of He Cheng, who had long since died, and cleaned up the ground in the hall that was contaminated by his poisonous blood.

When Yang Yinglong Shi Ran walked out of this hall, except for the pungent smell in the air, this hall looked no different from before.

Banzhou was almost under the complete control of the Yang family, and even if there were a few liuguan yamen appointed by the imperial court, they were just decorations. Now that Yang Yinglong wants to deal with them, it is naturally a matter of being able to catch them.

In just half a day, several yamen were completely occupied by the native soldiers sent by the Yang family, and those unlucky officials in it were also quickly arrested, tied up with ropes and thrown directly into the prison behind the yamen, which saved a lot of trouble.

Subsequently, the people of the Yang family quickly spread Yang Yinglong's intention to oppose the imperial court. Of course, as a rebel party, they have to find a decent reason, and as far as the current court is concerned, there really is one reason.

"Today, the son is deaf, the traitor is in charge, and the virtuous minister Zhang Taiyue is expelled......" A rebellious document against the court's dismissal of Zhang Juzheng was quickly posted all over the city, and someone recited it aloud at any time, and explained to the people around him: "It's not that our Lord Tusi has any ambitions, and wants to rebel against the court, it's really too unreasonable for the court, and he actually dismissed a generation of virtuous minister Zhang Juzheng, making the court a mess now, all of them are traitors and villains, and the taxes are higher than before." ”

"What? Why don't you know about this, and you don't feel that the taxes to be collected by the imperial court are higher than before? That's because Yang Tusi is in front to shield us from the wind and rain, otherwise, your life would have been unbearable. But now, the court is very dissatisfied with Yang Tusi, and will send someone to arrest him, and send other cool officials to replace him, and then your hard days will come.

"Yang Tusi refused to give in this time, and decided to raise the anti-flag, not only for himself, but also for you. So you should also make some contribution to our army......"

Under a series of means of soft or hard, or deception or force, the people in Banzhou City were quickly mobilized by them, the food of the whole city was gathered together, and the strong men were also assembled, and then under the leadership of several powerful generals under his command, an army of tens of thousands of people drove out of Banzhou and went straight to the surrounding states and counties.

In fact, this army is not going to war. Because in Sichuan, and even in the entire southwest, Yang Yinglong's prestige is very great, and it is no exaggeration to say that sometimes what he says is even more useful than the official documents of the government.

As soon as the news of Yang Yinglong's rebellion came out, the Tusi in several surrounding states and counties quickly raised troops to respond, and the fierce ones even directly killed the Yamen, killed the officials in the city, and then replaced them with the banner of the Yang family. And when the Yang family's army arrived, what was waiting for them was not only not the official army waiting for them, but the city gate was wide open, and the local soldiers of the various tribes who greeted them and waited to join them.

In just five or six days, half of the cities in the entire Sichuan have fallen into the hands of the Yang family, and during this period, there has hardly been any fighting. But at the same time, the Yang family was also very clever to avoid several cities that were guarded by officials and soldiers, such as Chengdu and the like, and then sent people to Yunnan, Guangxi and other places.

At this time, the entire southwest has known the news of Yang Yinglong's army, and suddenly many Miao Zhuang and other tribes of Tusi have raised troops in response, for a time, the entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty is full of beacon fires, and the army and territory under the name of Yang Yinglong have also been rapidly expanded, from 10,000 to 50,000, and after more than ten days, this number has reached 200,000 that everyone is jaw-dropping.

When things come to this point, even if the local people try to cover it up, they can't cover it up. Countless local officials have flown to Beijing like snowflakes, and all of them have used the method of 600 li or 800 li in an expedited way. According to this posture, it seems that the entire Ming Dynasty has fallen into the biggest crisis, and it may overturn the country and the world at any time because of the rebellion of these native soldiers.

If it is a mature ruler who faces this turmoil, such as Zhang Juzheng, who has just come to power from Beijing, then he will not be alarmed by this sudden change, but he will not panic. Because they know very well that the real heartland of the Ming Dynasty is only in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, of course, if there is a military disaster in the north, it will be quite a headache, but it will only be external troubles rather than internal strife.

As for the southwest, although Yang Yinglong and other Tusi were violent, in fact, they could only make some noise in the southwest corner, and it would not pose too much threat to the rule of the imperial court at all.

But now he is only a young man in his teens, he has only been in power for a few months, and he is still so unfamiliar with everything, as soon as he heard that the southwest was in turmoil, he immediately panicked. After receiving the report from the front, the emperor immediately summoned all the officials of the six major and small ministries of the cabinet to the palace to discuss how to deal with this crisis.

Among the ministers, there was naturally a far-sighted one, and at this moment he hurriedly comforted the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be so worried, even if the Southwest Rebellion is not small, it is just a creation of scabies, as long as the imperial court sends a large general to lead the troops to the crusade, it will be pacified within a few days." ”

But Wanli is obviously not appeased by these two sentences: "You said it lightly, in just ten days, the southwestern provinces have fallen into great chaos, and the rebels even claim to have 200,000 people, and they occupy the geographical advantage, how can it be so easy to quell it?" What's more, now only the northern border army is the most elite in the world, but do I dare to transfer the men and horses there to the southwest? ”

At this time, the courtiers below didn't dare to speak, the Mongolian people in the north have always been eyeing the Ming Dynasty, at this time, if a large number of border troops are dispatched to the southwest, isn't it giving them a chance? Moreover, no matter how big the grasp of counterinsurgency is, there is no possibility of victory, who dares to fight this package?

Looking at the sad face of the ministers, the emperor was worried, until this time, he knew how difficult it was for Master Zhang to sit in that position, don't look at his usual weightlifting, that is his ability, he is still too far away from him.

Just when the monarchs and ministers were all worried, an attendant cautiously came to the door of the palace: "Your Majesty, someone with a brocade guard has sent an urgent message, asking to see ...... outside."
