When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look in the direction of Fugu. It's been out for so long, I really don't know what happened to Fugu?

They didn't know that the scale of Wang Jiayin's uprising in Fugu was not as big as it is now, and it did not capture the county seat of Fugu and thus alarm You Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, to report to the imperial court.

Because of Hu Guang's butterfly effect, the imperial court verified the movements of the chaotic people in Shaanxi earlier than in history, Yue Hesheng was already very old, and he was sick, so he couldn't bear the pressure, and finally died a few months early.

At this time, it was the third day of November in the first year of Chongzhen (1628), and the struggle for power in Beijing also had results.

The Imperial Council pushes the cabinet members, the left attendant of the courtier's department, Cheng Jiming, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi, etc. At the same time, Zheng Yiwei, Li Pengfang, Sun Shenxing, He Ruzhong, Xue Sanxing, Sheng Yihong, Luo Yuyi, Wang Yongguang, Cao Yubian and other 11 people were promoted. And the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wen Tiren, the waiter Zhou Yanru, is unexpected.

The party struggle in the Ming Dynasty had a result for the time being, and before the arrival of a larger party struggle, the affairs of Shaanxi were finally dealt with.

Promoted the sixty-year-old Zhang Mengjing to replace Yue Hesheng Governor Yansui with the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The governor of Shaanxi, Hu Ting, was dismissed from his post and replaced by Liu Guangsheng, a jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli.

The matter is almost over, and the new official has not yet taken office, but it does not mean that Fugu is fine, on the contrary, Fugu is in a major crisis.

Hu Guang and the others didn't know, but they just tried to hurry every day according to the established itinerary and strive to reach Fugu as soon as possible.

The closer I got to Fugu, the more starvation people died on the road. Finally, everyone in the group felt abnormal.

Coming from Yan'an Mansion, it's not that I haven't seen the starvation on the side of the road. But what I saw in front of me was a bit abnormal.

Not only are there more and more of them, but there are even a few hungry bodies in less than a mile, and most of these hungry people are in their twenties and thirties.

Generally speaking, the corpses that died on the side of the road are generally old, weak, sick and disabled. These people in their twenties and thirties are the most powerful time in their lives, and it is very abnormal to starve to death and freeze to death on the way to Fugu one after another!

Seeing that there was still a day and a night away from Fugu, Hu Hansan checked a few hungry people, and then said to Hu Guangyu: "Son, these people still have weapons in their hands, and looking at their appearance, they seem to have traveled a long way. And looking at the clothes, it seems to be a person from the south of Qindi. ”

When Hu Guang heard this, he looked up at the corpses on both sides of the road, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "I know, these people are probably the team led by the second king of Baishui, who walked so far and did not have enough food and grass, and starved to death on the road." ”

"What White Water King II?" Hu Hansan didn't know why, and asked suspiciously.

Wang Heizi on the side was taken aback, he remembered that Wang Er and the old man met and left Fugu for Baishui, which was a long time ago. The less people know about this kind of thing, the better, so except for the henchmen of the old man like himself, no one else knows about it.

How did Hu Guang know that Baishui Wang Er was going to bring a team to Fugu? And looking at his demeanor, he seems to be very sure.

He was surprised there, but Hu Guang didn't care about him, just thinking that if Wang Er arrived in Fugu, then Wang Jiayin's strength would be a little stronger, and he wanted to gain power and dominate the end of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also Gao Yingxiang, looking at the itinerary, he is estimated to be in Fugu tomorrow, which can be regarded as increasing Wang Jiayin's strength.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang's brows furrowed. I can't think of a good way for the time being, forget it, let's go to Fugu first.

"Let's hurry forward and rest again, and try to get back to Fugu County before it gets dark tomorrow!" Hu Guang said as he urged the horse forward.

Naturally, the others could not have opinions, so while there was still light in the evening, they followed behind Hu Guang and continued to hurry.

At this time, in Fugu County, the city gate was wide open, and the gongs and drums were beating under the city, which was a lively scene.

On the side of the south gate, Wang Jiayin led a group of people out. The smile on his face was blooming, his mouth couldn't be closed, and a bear hugged a strong man in his twenties who had just strode close to him.

"Second Brother Wang, I want to kill your old brother!" Wang Jiayin hammered a few punches, pushed the strong man away, and laughed loudly.

This person is the second king of Baishui, but he didn't have time to say hello, and said in a hoarse voice: "Big brother, settle down the brothers first, after walking such a long way, there is no food and grass for a long time, and many people died on the road!" ”

Wang Jiayin looked behind Wang Er, the long queue dragged on for a long time, and it was slightly estimated that there were about seven or eight hundred people.

From the white water of Xi'an Mansion to the end of Fugu in northern Shaanxi, this road is indeed very long, the weather is still so cold, and it is inevitable to avoid the government.

Wang Jiayin was surprised that Wang Er could bring so many people here, and he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Ma Qi! ”

"The villain is here!" Ma Qi came out of the queue in response, and his posture was very low. During this time, he successfully befriended Wang Jiayin and became one of his henchmen.

"Quickly take the brothers into the city, hot water, porridge, steamed buns, and cakes are enough!" Wang Jiayin shouted loudly, cheering up the weak team.

Ma Qi also cooperated with him, and shouted loudly in the loudest voice: "Okay, I have already prepared according to my brother's instructions, brothers of Baishui, follow me into the city, let go of your stomach and eat!" ”

When Wang Jiayin heard this, he pulled Wang Er, turned sideways, and introduced to him: "Yang Liu, Wu Tinggui, you know him if you don't get mud, his name is Hu Kuan, the most powerful man in our Fugu." ”

For some reason, he didn't point out that Hu Kuan and he were sworn brothers, nor did he introduce Hu Kuan at the first time, but fell to the end.

When Wang Er heard this, he clasped his fists and bowed to the leaders. His eyes were staring at Hu Kuan, the most powerful man in Fugu, when will he weigh it!

Hu Kuan knew that in the rivers and lakes, no one would obey anyone, just now the eldest brother praised himself greatly, I was afraid that there would be unnecessary trouble, he was about to be modest when he heard Wang Jiayin already laughing and said: "Let's go, my brother has set up a banquet, and he will rest when he gets drunk tonight!" ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but say, pulled Wang Er and left.

It was slowly getting dark, and the gates of the county town were closed. The original You Mansion in the city is now Wang Jiayin's residence, and many tables of banquets are being set up, and all the leaders with a bit of status are gathered here, drinking wine and eating meat, and the celebration team has grown again.

Just like when You Dagui had a feast, it was all at night, and it was all in the same place.

None of them knew that just when they were eating and drinking happily, there was a lantern on the arrow tower in the south of the city, which suddenly lit up for a while, and dimmed for a while, and repeated it several times, and it could be seen from afar.
