Returning to the house with Hatano Hidego, Ashikaga Kazuki and Tayama Naoyoshi were relieved to see him return safely, and after thanking Zhou Zhong at the moment, they returned to their residence with Hatano Hidego to prepare to go back.

Although Zhou Zhong didn't want too many people to know the news of his departure from Beijing, he is now a hot figure in the capital, many people desperately want to see him, and the news about him spread very quickly, plus he did not deliberately keep it secret, so many people know the news that he is leaving Beijing.

The next day, Zhou Chong and they met Ashikaga Kazuki and Wu Shan's brocade guard, from Chongwen Gate out of the capital, originally saw off only Wang Lun, the others Zhou Chong did not go to notify, but when he came out of Chongwen Gate only to find that outside the city gate was already full of people who came to see him off, except for Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and a few other people he knew, most of the other people Zhou Chong did not know at all, and what surprised him was that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, who had a blue nose and swollen face, also came to see him off.

Although Zhou Chongzhi said that among the people who saw him off, except for a few people, most of the other people had a bit of utilitarianism, but since people took the initiative to see him off, that is, they wanted to make friends with him, and Zhou Chong wanted to mix in the officialdom, so he must have a broad network, so whether he knew or not, Zhou Chong was very enthusiastic about these people who saw him off.

Seeing that Zhou Chong was able to cope with these crowds of people who saw them off, Wang Lun next to him also smiled with satisfaction, when Zhou Chong first took over the position of Admiral of the Four Seas. He was also a little worried that Zhou Chong would not adapt to officialdom. But now it seems. He was really a little worried, and Zhou Chong's performance was even better than he expected.

After saying goodbye to the people who saw them off, Wang Lun and Li Dongyang and a few other people personally sent Zhou Chongyili, the most beautiful queen Jinxuan and her father Wang Lun said goodbye with tears, which made Wang Lun also old tears, he has passed the age of sixties, and today I don't know if I can see my favorite daughter in this life, and the little grandson who is about to be born?

After saying goodbye to Wang Lun. Zhou Zhong rode on the horse, and Jinxuan and the others also got into the carriage, but they did not go south along the main road, but moved a little towards Tianjin Wei in the southeast direction, this is because Bazhou, which is directly south of Beijing, is now in chaos, and Liu Liu and Liu Qi are leading the blasters to fight with the officers and soldiers led by Shenying.

Speaking of Zhou Chong, when they came to the capital, they passed through Bazhou, at that time Liu Liu and Liu Qi had not rebelled, although Bazhou was only more than 100 miles away from the capital, but Zhou Chong's impression of there was only the word poverty. The reason for this impression on Zhou Zhong is mainly because there are too many beggars in the city. And these beggars will block the road to beg when they see the convoy passing through Bazhou, if the owner does not give money, it is impossible to leave, fortunately, Zhou Zhong's convoy is protected by Jinyi Guard, and those beggars did not dare to stop their team.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhong also inquired about Wu Shan, and the other party told him that most of the beggars in Bazhou City were farmers who were bankrupt because of Ma Zheng, and they had to become beggars in order to survive. It has caused hundreds of people in the north to go bankrupt, which is definitely not a good thing for the Ming court.

Sure enough, what happened next also confirmed Zhou Chong's conjecture, Liu Liu and Liu Qi, the two bandits, rose up, and immediately got the response of some bankrupt people in Bazhou, and thousands of people gathered in a short period of time, and there is a tendency to intensify. Fortunately, because of Zhou Zhong's reminder, Zhengde changed his mind and sent an experienced veteran like Shenying to serve as the general of the counterinsurgency.

It is precisely because this matter has something to do with him, so Zhou Chong has been paying attention to the situation of the rebellion in Bazhou during this time, and what makes him happy is that Shenying is indeed as he boasts, and he is indeed very good at leading troops to fight, when he just arrived in Bazhou, he fought a battle with Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebels, and the result was a complete victory, killing most of the rebels, as for Liu Liu Liu Qi and several other core figures, they were also besieged in a fixed area by the army mobilized by Shenying, and the officers and soldiers were pressing step by step, if nothing else, Soon the remnants of Liu Liu and Liu Qi will be squeezed to death.

Although Zhou Chong also knew that in addition to Liu Liu and Liu Qi, the leaders of the rebellion, most of the other rebels participated in the rebellion because they couldn't survive, so Zhou Chong was also very sympathetic to them, but sympathy is sympathy, if Liu Liu Liu Qi's rebellion is not destroyed quickly, it will deal a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty in the end, and the innocent people who died are countless, so for the benefit of most of the people, Zhou Chong can only be ruthless and recommend to Zhengde to exterminate them.

Just after Zhou Chong's convoy passed Tianjin Wei, there was good news again from Bazhou, Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others were surrounded by the army led by Shenying for several days, and finally decided to break through, but they didn't expect that some of their subordinates secretly took refuge in the imperial court, and the news of the breakthrough was also leaked to Shenying, but on the night when Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi led the troops to break through, they were ambushed by Shenying, and the entire breakthrough team was almost wiped out, and even Liu Liu and Liu Qi also died in the chaos. But only Qi Yanming, the other leader of the rebels, was nowhere to be found.

The two bandit leaders Liu Liu and Liu Qi died, and the remaining rebels were leaderless, plus they couldn't escape from the encirclement, so most of the people chose to surrender, and the rebellion in Bazhou was finally quelled.

When Zhou Zhong heard that Shenying lived up to expectations and put down the rebellion in just a few days, and even Liu Liu and Liu Qi died in the chaos, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, Liu Liu and Liu Qi, the two rebel leaders, died just after the rebellion, which has completely deviated from the original history, presumably the Liu Liu and Liu Qi uprisings that caused great harm to the Ming Dynasty in history will not happen again.

No, before Zhou Zhong was happy, he suddenly thought that Qi Yanming, another key figure in this rebellion, escaped, for this Qi Yanming, there are not many records in history, mainly because not long after the uprising, he died in battle, but now it is the other way around, Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi's brothers died in front of him, but Qi Yanming, who should have died early, escaped, which made Zhou suddenly have an ominous premonition in his heart, maybe history is not so easy to change.

Just when Zhou Zhong was distressed by Qi Yanming's escape, Bazhou, not far from Tianjin, was full of corpses in a large river in the southeast, and the river water was also red stained with blood, and the corpses piled up together almost blocked the river, and the land on both sides of the river was also full of dead corpses, and the soil on the ground mixed with blood to form a kind of sauce-red mud.

This is the place where Liu Liu and Liu Qi led the troops to break through, but it is a pity that the plan to break through was told to Shenying by the mutinous people, so Shenying set up an ambush on both sides of the river, and when Liu Liu and Liu Qi's breakthrough team crossed the river to halfway, the officers and soldiers on both sides of the river suddenly killed from the darkness, and the rebels were killed by surprise, Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi were unable to command the team to fight, and finally killed several times the officers and soldiers, among which Liu Liu was cut off by a general in an official army, as for Liu Qi, he wanted to jump into the river and escape, Unexpectedly, Shenying laid archers on both sides of the river, and as a result, Liu Qi was also shot dead in the river.

The core figures of Liu Liu's rebellion are the dozen or so people they had when they were ringing horses, and now the two leaders of Liu Liu and Liu Qi are dead, and other famous core figures are also dead and surrendered, but Qi Yanming, who is equal to Liu Liu and Liu Qi in the rebels, has disappeared, and no one has even seen him in the rebels who surrendered.

If it were in the past, Liu Liu and Liu Qi, who were the leaders of the thieves, had already died, and the rebels had been eliminated, even if they escaped with Qi Yanming, it would not be a big deal, after all, he alone could not turn over much of a storm, but before Shenying came to Bazhou, he was told by Zhou Zhong that he had better arrest all the core figures of this rebellion, so Shenying did not dare to slack off, and after the war, he sent more than a dozen teams to search for Qi Yanming's whereabouts nearby.

It is precisely because of this that I saw that on the battlefields on both sides of the river, and even in the water and grass by the river, you can see the officers and soldiers searching for Qi Yanming, and now they have been searching for a whole day, seeing that the sun is about to set, if they can't find anyone again, then they can only collect their troops and return to the camp.

Speaking of the battlefield, although the battlefield is big, but there are not many places to hide people, the battlefield on both sides of the river has been turned over several times by the officers and soldiers, and every dead body has also been turned over for the surrendered rebels to identify, but unfortunately Qi Yanming has not been found, so now the officers and soldiers are mainly focused on this big river in the middle of the battlefield, first, there are many dead bodies in the river, among which there is likely to be Qi Yanming, and secondly, there are a lot of reeds growing in this river, and it is likely that the surviving rebels are hidden in it.

I saw that the banks of the river, which were full of dead bodies, were now full of officers and soldiers, and these officers and soldiers were holding a long bamboo pole with a hook on the head of the bamboo pole, which could drag up the corpses in the river.

It is already early winter, and the reeds growing in the river have long since dried up, so when they encounter the reeds that may be Tibetans, the officers and soldiers will set fire to them, and then poke them into the water with long bamboo poles.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer reeds on the river, and that it was getting darker and darker, many of the officers and men searching for it also showed impatience, and if it weren't for the order from above, I am afraid that they would have gone back to rest long ago. However, just as a group of lazy soldiers with torches tried to ignite a large area of reeds, a strange protrusion appeared, and a figure covered in mud and blood "swished" out of the reeds, and then ran away along the riverbank!
