178 Shocking the Government and the Opposition (Chapter 4)

(Today, the fourth chapter was delivered, and on the first day of Sanjiang, I also broke out.) Now it's in the code word.,Write how much to pass on.,Please collect and recommend support, brothers,)

On the tenth day of September in the 50th year of Zhengde, the Shandong political envoy Siyangxin County rebelled and killed Zhou Xingbo, the governor of Ma Zheng Yamen in the four counties, and called himself the white-robed rebels.

On the night of the 10th day of the first month of September, the rebel army broke through the armory of the 100 households in Changqiu and plundered countless ordnance......

On September 11, the rebel army of 3,000 iron cavalry raided Leling County, and Leling County ordered Li Fa to take the county and the main book... Canonical history, pushing officials... More than 30 people including the government officials were killed in battle, and Leling County was broken! The rebellious army broke through the Yamen Zhou Mansion of the Governor of the four counties, plundered the county seat, killed hundreds of tax collectors, plundered countless silver, money, grain and grass, and hijacked thousands of people and horses to join the army! At that time, the number of rebels was expanded to 5,000!

On September 12, the rebel army invaded Qingyun County, Hejian Province, and 3,000 mobs in Qingyun County responded and joined the rebel army.

It is said that the rebel army did not stop, invaded Haifeng, Haifeng County ordered the battle to die, the rebel army plundered countless grains, grass and horses, and the team expanded to 10,000 people......

On the night of September 13, the rebel army invaded Zhanhua......

On September 15, the rebel army occupied the land of the four counties, claiming to be a white-robed rebel army, and everyone wore white robes, claiming to 'kill corrupt officials and do the right thing for heaven......

The news of the riots in Shandong spread throughout the country almost in a few days, shocking the government and the public!

Yanjing is only more than 600 miles away from the land of the four counties, and the fast horse arrives in one night, and the post road system of the Ming Dynasty is extremely complete, so on the twelfth day of September, that is, the day after the white-robed rebels broke through the county seat of Leling, the central court received the news.

It's just that I don't know if the bureaucracy of this huge empire is too old, or if it doesn't take this matter to heart at all - after all, in the Ming Dynasty at this time, every few years, there is always news of a popular uprising, but it will soon be suppressed by the local guards - so that for a few days, there is no reaction, as if this incident has never happened.

It wasn't until the next few days that the county seat was broken one after another, and within a few days, the rebel army gathered 10,000 people, occupying the bad news of the four counties raising horses, and the center of the court realized that the scale of this popular uprising seemed to be a bit large.

Yanjing City, prosperous is still the same, the traffic is busy, the flow of people is endless, and it has not been affected by the Shandong civil uprising in the slightest.

The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are still quite wealthy, and these small burghers, in the West, are the prototype of the bourgeoisie, with a lot of surplus assets in their hands, and they are busy enjoying themselves every day.

Jokes, I have a holy monarch in the Ming Dynasty, with millions of soldiers, and the bandits in just four counties, of course, are insignificant.

Of course, there are also people of insight who see opportunities in this chaos.

For example, Lian Zining.

The camp of the Wuyi Army, ten miles south of Liu Zhen, the official road, is still in full swing. The construction of the battalion has been completed, and the scale is quite grand. The four large buildings enclosed a large square in the middle, and on the periphery of this large camp, the flat ground had been trampled by countless people, and now it was so hard that the sun seemed to reflect the light when it shone brightly.

The ground has been trampled to the ground extremely porcelain, and it has not rained for several months, and it is smooth.

Thousands of soldiers of the Wuyi Army, divided into hundreds of households, divided into teams of 100 people, are training. Some are in a neat line, row by row, constantly stabbing forward, and some are divided into two phalanxes, constantly combining and dividing, and the formation is practiced. And in the large square in the middle, there was a burst of popping sounds like fried beans, which was the soldiers of the Guards practicing muskets.

Wu Yijun Presidential Palace, backyard.

This place has already been completed, and a lot of big trees have been transplanted to cover the shade in the backyard.

Lian Zining also asked people to dig a clear stream, which attracted the spring water in the hills, the stream is not big, only about 100 meters long, and one zhang wide, but with this stream, the whole back garden seems to be alive.

In the golden autumn of September, this northern land is already quite cool, the breeze is blowing, under the shade of the trees, next to the clear stream, Lian Zining reclined on a reclining chair, holding a bowl of mung bean soup in his hand, sipping gently.

And across from him, Rong Yue was holding an account book in her hand, reporting something.

"In August, the income of the banknote customs was 47,800 taels, according to your intentions, it was not sent to the military department, of which 30,000 taels were sent to the lord's mansion, 10,000 taels were charged to the Wu Yi army, and the remaining 7,800 taels were left in the Chenzi office, as the regular expenses of subordinates and others and the salary to be released to the military department in the future."

"In August, the Chamber of Commerce distributed dividends, and after going out of the principal and interest of each family, the net income was 63,000 taels of silver. Of these money, 33,000 taels have been sent to the Lord's Mansion, and the remaining 30,000 taels have been escorted to the camp of the Wuyi Army, which has been stored and sealed by Wang Zhenfu. ”

After Rongyue finished speaking, Lian Zining nodded slightly, pointed to the table, and said with a smile: "Drink a cup of sour plum soup to quench your thirst." You came all the way to report, and you haven't even drunk your saliva! ”

Rong Yue smiled lightly: "Subordinate Lord Xie." ”

The cup is a fine Jingdezhen rain-skid celadon, and the sour plum soup inside is slightly purple, clear and transparent, and there are fine ice cubes floating in it.

Rong Yue took a sip of the cup gently, with a surprised expression on her face: "It turns out that the adults not only added ice cubes here, but also added rock sugar?" ”

Lian Zining bowed slightly.

Rong Yue tasted it gently, with an intoxicated expression on her face, she put the cup down, let out a long breath, and praised: "How long has it been since that year that I haven't drunk plum soup with ice cubes and rock sugar and sour plum soup?" ”

She said it lightly, and the changes in it made people feel sour when they thought about it. A generation of talented women has fallen to this point, which is indeed pitiful and lamentable.

Lian Zining said with a smile: "If you want to drink in the future, you will often come to me, I am a person, I don't get tired of eating, I don't get tired of eating, I don't eat and drink, but I don't suffer." ”

Rong Yue said with a smile: "I've heard about this, my lord, here, I dug ten good cooks from the famous four restaurants in the capital in one go, and the maid who specializes in making sour plum soup in your house is still the niece daughter of the owner of the century-old store 'Sun Ji', and she has really passed on Sun Ji's skills." You like to eat xiaolongbao, and you specially invited two masters from Yangzhou for 300 taels of silver a year at a high price, just to tell when you will have a meal. Hehe, these anecdotes have been spread all over Yanjing City, and everyone said, my lord, you don't know how much silver you have scooped from Qian Guan and Wu Yijun. Not only is it excellent for eating for yourself, but also sending silver to Lord Dai's house to see the sky, a cart of ......"
