Liu Dazhu of Anqing Mansion, as well as Wang Yutang, president of the Jawan Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, as well as the guards of Luzhou Mansion, and the shopkeeper of the Qinglou Grain Store, were directly taken to the courtyard of Anqingyi on these two acres of land by Liu Zhengzhi. ↑，

The inside and outside of the courtyard have been protected by the palace Lu Shi who inspected the Tianxia Post Station this time. In the guest room on the right side of the courtyard, the three families have been interrogated separately by the people from the Military Discipline Department under Liu Zheng this time.

Wang Yutang opened a medicinal herb shop and a cloth shop, and when the two shopkeepers saw the torture weapons of the Military Discipline Department, they were so frightened that a stream of urine directly soaked the cotton pants.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the smell of urine is not so strong, the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb store explained the area of the medicinal herb store, the annual profit, and the fake medicinal materials that were poured out later, what used the big radish to pretend to be ginseng, the use of cat urine to pretend to be tiger urine, and Zhu Ling soaked it in the feces with rotten bones, and then painted it black with black paint...... In short, it is a lack of morality, they only do better, not the best.

The same problem is the same in the cloth shop, but it is not uncommon to see a short ruler and a few inches. Cotton cloth, flower cloth, silk, as long as someone comes to buy, there is no shortage of catties and short feet, short feet and inches, and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop said that he couldn't sleep that night.

When Liu Zheng heard this, he realized that his knowledge was a little less, and he could do this without virtue, which shows the wisdom of the Ming Dynasty, which is worthy of being second to none.

After all the records were completed, let the shopkeeper draw the charge directly, and then Liu Zheng personally went to interrogate Wang Yutang.

Daming, Ruiwangfu, White Tiger Hall.

Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua, Yu Kaiyi, Chen Qi, Deng Rujiao, Qu Shiyun, Lao Dao came and found that the prince had not yet arrived.

Ten people sat at the round table where meetings are often held, and began to ask each other, "The prince invited us today, I don't know what happened?" Sun Yuanhua said shyly beside him.

"Lao Yu thinks that today the prince is going to make a decision on military affairs, you see, General Lu, General Sun, Sun Jianzheng, General Chen, General Deng, and Lao Yu, most of them are from the army, so today's matter is that the prince wants to make a big move in the military." Sun Chengzong said heartily.

When the others heard this, they were also right, and most of the people in this meeting were generals and military governors.

When everyone still wanted to talk about something, Zhu Changhao had already come in, and the palace guards behind him were holding a pair of map shelves, as well as benchmarks and other things, and Xu Fu was also beside him, holding a record book in his hand, waiting for the prince to have a meeting today.

When Zhu Changhao entered the conference room, ten people got up to salute the prince, and after Zhu Changhao said "no courtesy", he asked the guards to set up the map shelf behind him, and then sat down and glanced at everyone.

"Today, the lonely generals are invited to discuss important matters. Just now, everyone must have known that more than a dozen Jinyi guards from Jingshi who passed the decree sent the emperor to question the king's will.

The requirement of the will is that this king's steel company camp is against the laws of the imperial court, and the salt and iron are monopolized!

The second is that the textile industry has caused the capital to move north in the south of the Daming River, which violates the purpose of the Daming Society and the government not competing with the people.

The last one is the inspection department of the Han River Basin, which cannot belong to the Rui Wangfu, and the imperial court's law in the Han River cannot be replaced by the law of the palace.

Therefore, this king thinks that in this matter, this king will take the following countermeasures against my nephew emperor in Jingshi:

First, the gesture must be made, the king will submit an excerpt to the Jingshi, start his own cause of these things, and then ask the emperor for an order, the people in the five provinces of the north are in turmoil, and the Rui Wangfu does not want any food and military salaries from the imperial court, assist Yang He, and pacify the rebellion.

This is the aspect of subduing softness, and the advantage of this can also help us drive out the rebellious people and use it as a cover for us to go to southwest Guangdong.

The second aspect is that the king is going to show his fangs, and if he has been silent for too long, he will be thought that he has no strength. Therefore, the king decided that before Yang He had not acted, the land division and the water division should take action, and in addition, in order to deal with some serious events in the future, the king decided to form the Xuanwu Army in the early summer of this year, and at the end of summer, to form the Suzaku Army. These two armies are both army divisions, leading generals, and they are making other candidates. ”

Zhu Changhao said this, so he didn't say much, because everyone also understood that what the prince was going to say today was how to let us carry out this action of showing our fangs.

It's just that Zhu Changhao didn't tell everyone one more thing here, that is, on the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, Wang Daliang led more than 2,000 people to attack the county seat of Luoyang, and was defeated by a battalion of Wangfu Lu Division guarding the mine in Luoyang, but although Wang Daliang was defeated, these homeless people were defeated but not dispersed, and there was a tendency to make a comeback.

Also, according to the information from the red powder, this Wang Daliang is known as the "King of Daliang", (the first year of Chongzhen), in Hannan, he planned to start an incident in Zhu Changhao's fiefdom, but it was leveled by Zhu Changhao's large-scale development and food relief. Later, this guy went north to Longnan, Gansu, and met up with the people in Chengxian and Liangdang, and engaged in a grand strategy of "attacking Yang, forcing Hanzhong, and shocking Hannan", but he was afraid of the power of King Rui. I had to move around Hanyin.

Here, scholars would like to say that traditional history textbooks, influenced by the doctrine of class struggle, often beautify the Ming Dynasty as a great peasant uprising, caused by natural disasters and the brutal oppression of the ruling class. This point of view is not accurate for the main body and cause of the civil uprising, about the main body of the civil uprising, the organizers and backbone forces are not ordinary peasants, but deserters, most of the leaders of the popular rebellion have military backgrounds, among which Wang Jiayin is a fugitive from the Dingbian camp by the Great Wall, Wang Zuohang, Zhang Xianzhong is a fugitive from Yansui, Shen Yiyuan is a fugitive from Liaoyang, and Li Zicheng is a post pawn. Deserters are divided into Tukou (local garrisons) and border bandits (soldiers of military towns along the Great Wall).

Their relationship is: "The border thief relies on the bandit as a guide, and the thief as a wing." The deserters were cunning and fierce, possessed a certain military quality, and had strong survival and organizational ability, and these characteristics made the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty appear from the very beginning to show the characteristics of wide scope, rapid development, strong combat effectiveness, and difficult to extinguish, which was different from the previous peasant uprisings.

Because the traditional view overemphasizes natural disasters and class contradictions, it ignores political and military factors. In fact, natural disasters and class contradictions were no worse in the late Ming Dynasty than in other dynasties, and the Ming government's disaster relief efforts were the most vigorous in all Chinese dynasties. In addition to the aforementioned soldiers' reluctance to fight, the political chaos caused by Emperor Chongzhen's large-scale purge was also an important factor in triggering the popular uprising, and the purge that lasted for more than two years caused the central paralysis to make the situation deteriorate rapidly. From various perspectives, the nature of the civil uprising is not simple, especially in the middle and late stages of the civil uprising, deserters coerced refugees, moved and plundered, and took this as a profession, and did not accept the government's relief and resettlement, their behavior was aimless, with a strong rogue color, and the damage caused to the economy and society was greater and more lasting than natural disasters, leading more refugees to join it, forming a vicious circle, so it is not worth advocating and beautifying.

Internal and external troubles often go hand in hand. The internal troubles of the Ming Dynasty were fundamentally caused by external troubles, whether it was the rebellion of Kong Youde in Shandong or the popular uprising in Shaanxi, the soldiers were afraid of war and made chaos, but the way of chaos and the scene presented were different. The army of Kong Dide in Shandong was unwilling to go to Liaodong to fight, and became a rebellion, intending to cut off one side and set off a huge wave; The soldiers of Shaanxi broke away from the army in groups of three or five, each occupying a poor village, leaving the grass into a spark, showing the trend of sparks burning the prairies, and then they were forced to flow around under pressure, like mercury leaking into the ground. Comparatively speaking, because the popular rebellion in Shaanxi was scattered all over the country, relying on the mountains, and being mobile, it was more difficult to suppress than the rebellion of Kong Youde in Shandong.

There is also the Xiaoice Age, and the climate continues to be harsh. The imperial power fell aside, deviated from morality, and increased the income of the three salaries at an inopportune time during the period, which provoked popular unrest.

In addition, there are generally three types of civil uprisings.

The first type is gathering crowds to make a charity, in most cases there may be a small famine in the local area, but it does not meet the standard of relief, and some people go to the local government to ask for relief. Most of the ways to ask for relief were to threaten the city of BA first, or go directly to the government to make a noise and report the disaster, and there were occasional violent incidents of destroying public court property or beating up servants.

The second is the anti-magistrate and retention of magistrate movements, in the anti-official incident in the Ming Dynasty, the reasons for opposition involved the reasons for the dereliction of duty of magistrates, such as privately increasing factions, collecting money and enriching themselves, and so on. And the collective action is quite intense. For example, if a magistrate was beaten and then expelled, the reason for the opposition to the anti-official incidents in the Qing Dynasty was not always due to the improper administrative measures of the magistrates, but the fact that the tax reform hindered some vested interests. As for the retention of magistrates, it may be that the person himself is indeed a good magistrate, so there are many petitions from the people or requests for retention.

The third category is that local corrupt officials and corrupt officials rebel and deceive the people

Having said that, Zhu Changhao wants to pose for "Operation Fangs", and another layer of deep meaning is last year's "Extravagant Rebellion".

In 1628 (the first year of Chongzhen), the Ming government used Zhu Xieyuan, who made the first contribution in the defense of Chengdu, and the military affairs of the five provinces of Gui, Hu, Yun, Sichuan and Guangzhou. Zhu Xieyuan ordered the Yunnan soldiers to retreat from Wu, and curbed the withdrawal of the troops of Anxiao and Liangliang to aid Lu'an. The Shu soldiers went out of Yongning and Bijie to strangle the road of their four descendants. He personally led a large army to garrison Luguang and forced him to be generous.

In August, Hao Chongming called the "King of Great Liang" and An Bangyan called the "Great Elder of the Four Descendants" and joined forces to attack Yongning. Lu'an advanced troops Chishui, Zhu Xieyuan detected, ordered the defenders to feint, and lured the enemy deeper. It is estimated that he has arrived in Yongning, and Lin Zhaoding was dispatched to enter from Sancha, Wang Guozhen entered from Lu Guang, Liu Yangkun entered from Zunyi, An Bangyan's troops were exhausted to cope with the lack of troops from all walks of life, Luo Ganxiang went around his back with strange soldiers, and Yu Chongming and An Bangyan were killed. The Lucan Coalition was defeated. At this time, only the location of Shuixi remained. Zhu Xieyuan thought that the rebels had been basically wiped out, and he was unwilling to use troops anymore, and An was held hostage at a young age, and he was in danger and stubborn.

Zhu Xieyuan was difficult to get out of because of the deep forests in the west mountains of Shuixi, which was the key point of the attack, and he attacked from all sides, making him lack of food and sleepy. So the Ming army blocked more than 100 miles around Shuixi, or cut the wood, or burned and accumulated, and after more than 100 days, Anwei felt difficult to support and begged to surrender. At this point, the rebellion of Lu'an was finally put down.

The military expenditures to quell the rebellion were undoubtedly worse for the Ming government, which was already exhausted by the war in the north and the peasant uprisings in various places. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse alone, the Ming government had to reduce the expenditure on the war in eastern Liaodong from 7.7 million taels to 6.8 million taels, while the military expenditure on quelling the rebellion in the southwest of Hao'an increased from 4 million taels to 5 million taels.

The imperial court was exhausted by those careerists, which is also the reason why his 8,000 people wanted to widen the ancient tea horse road in the southwest.
