Although Wang Pin is an internal official, he got along well with Lu Zhenfei and others during the Fengyang period, and he was open-minded and heroic, so he had a very good reputation among civil officials. "Top Dot" Novel.23.co one of his jokes made everyone laugh more than once.

Huang Gongfu didn't get angry because of this, jokes are jokes, what he just said about asking for advice is not really polite. And the shape shì that Zhu Ping'an expected at the beginning is becoming a reality step by step, especially now that the shape shì has a tendency to deteriorate further.

Yang Sichang led a large army to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, and in the latest stage, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's troops were defeated and retreated, and they had begun to retreat in the direction of Sichuan. The morale of the officers and soldiers has been greatly boosted, but the consequences of this are gradually being revealed. In order to ensure the supply of grain, grass and ordnance for nearly 100,000 troops, Yang Sichang went to the imperial court to ask for more "salaries", and the cabinet and the emperor readily agreed. Over the past few years, the Central Plains, Shanxi, Zhili, and other places have suffered severe droughts for many years, and the common people have struggled to make a living, coupled with the rampant corruption of officials and corrupt officials, and bandits are everywhere.

Wang Pin, who was pouring wine for everyone, was taken aback, his hand shook, and a lot of wine spilled. "This kind of recital cabinet is also accurate? Could it be that Zhou Ge was deceived by the villain? ”

Huang Gongfu sneered, "What kind of person is Zhou Yanru, how can he be deceived by villains, I'm afraid this move is deliberate!" ”

Speaking of these things, even Chen Zizhuang, who has always been indifferent, was full of worry, "This is true." After Yang Sichang went out to supervise the division, Zhou Yanru took control of the cabinet and began to eliminate dissidents. Yang Sichang did his best to exterminate the thieves and return to the center. As a last resort, he resorted to this kind of clumsy plan of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself. This move is in Zhou Yanru's arms, what Zhou Yanru wants is that Yang Sichang will panic, he knows very well what the consequences will be once this countermeasure is implemented. That's why I agreed so neatly, in order to watch Yang Sichang's good show! ”

Sure enough, Shanxi, Shaanxi and the Central Plains were in chaos one after another, and the displaced people everywhere rose up, and the local officials and soldiers were exhausted. And Li Zicheng, who was lurking on the border of Shaanxi and Henan, naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and immediately led thousands of people to kill in Henan and once again erected the banner of the king. For a time, the servants gathered. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to 30,000 people.

"What's even more terrifying is that Li Cheng put forward the slogan of 'Juntian is exempt from endowment' this time, which can be very demagogic, and the folk are already circulating the ballad of 'welcoming the king and not paying for food'!" Lu Zhenfei added worriedly.

Zhu Ping'an drank silently. These things had already been reported back to Shandong through the spies of the Guò Military Intelligence Service. History is still moving slowly according to the existing rhythm. This qiē. It's not something he can turn around with one hand. Step by step, people's worries are turning into reality.

Sun Chuanting was ordered to train troops in Shanxi. Previously, it had relied on local wealthy families to form a team training team of 10,000 people, but the current situation is indeed full of fires. The good and bad of the officers and the military in various places are uneven, and the local officials are in their own affairs. In the face of civil unrest, they have lost the initiative and the ability to control them. Sun Chuanting led the army to exterminate everywhere, but he was exhausted. At the beginning of November, Sun Chuanting led the army to fight a fierce battle with Liu Zongmin's troops under Li Zicheng in the Lu clan, but in the end he was outnumbered, so he had to lead the army back to Shaanxi to rest and recuperate, temporarily avoiding the edge, for which he was also ordered by Chongzhen to apply for punishment.

The thieves have gradually become irretrievable, and everyone here knows this. Hong Chengchou's army gathered outside the pass to resist the squeeze of the Manchus, and now it is no longer able to draw a single soldier. The north of the Ming Empire is devastated, and unless a miracle occurs, the situation can only be eroded day by day.

For a while, the atmosphere of the banquet was instantly cold, and everyone was thinking about their hearts silently. After a long time, Huang Gongfu said to Zhu Ping'an in a hoarse voice: "Ping'an boy, you are now a military attache of the second grade, and according to the official rank, the old man is still your subordinate." However, there is a saying that the old man is not unhappy, and among us people, including your two mentors, we all appreciate your insight. Now the imperial court has reached a time of crisis. All of you in the second seat, except for you, are all in Jiangnan, although you have the intention to kill thieves, but you are limited by the region. If the old man says something offensive, I still have to ask you to come up with an idea, so let's be prepared. ”

Suddenly, Chen Zizhuang and others set their eyes on Zhu Ping'an. Lu Zhenfei nodded, looked at Mu Yanzi and smiled, and he also looked like he was listening quietly.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a loud report from the soldiers, "Lord Zhao of Dengzhou Governor, Lord Yang of the same knowledge has arrived!" ”

Wang Pin hurriedly stood up and personally went to the door to lift the curtain, Zhao Guangluan and Yang Tinglin strode into the main hall.

Zhao Guangluan and Yang Tinglin hurried to greet everyone, Zhao Guangluan is an old qualification in the court, and he is quite familiar with everyone, but Yang Tinglin is young, and what he holds is the etiquette of the younger generation.

After the salute, the crowd sat down again. Zhao Guang hurriedly drank a bowl of hot wine, and the cold air in his body was suddenly swept away, and then he hurriedly said: "Everyone, the big thing is not good, the news has just come from the Jingshi, and now the epidemic is prevalent in Beijing, and the dead have reached thousands, and the Jingshi is in chaos!" ”

The loss of everyone was in an uproar, and it was really a house leak that happened to be rainy. Unexpectedly, at this moment of clenching, Jingshi actually had another plague. Chen Zizhuang threw the wine glass on the table, and immediately burst into tears, "Is this the day to forget me?" ”

Zhu Ping'an was also stunned for a while, and his mind was in turmoil. The epidemic in Beijing, there is a vague impression in my memory, but I can't remember the specific time. Li Zicheng has just started his army, and his momentum is far greater than in the past, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are dead but not stiff, this time, Daming is not only suffering from the enemy on his back, but he is simply facing an ambush on all sides!

Lu Zhenfei hasn't messed up yet, "Brother Yanqingxian, is the news true?" ”

Zhao Guangluan nodded without hesitation, "Now that Jingshi has been under martial law, this is a letter from the relatives of the foolish brother outside the Jingshi City, before this, he just picked up the foolish brother's family members from the city, and now they are all hiding in the grange!" The people of Jingshi are panicked! ”

"Then I will immediately repair the book and go back, order the Jianghuai Prefecture to collect medicinal materials, and immediately send the medicinal materials to the capital by boat!" Lu Zhenfei made a decision.

Zhu Ping'an slowly calmed down, "What the teacher said is that the epidemic in Beijing is lacking medicinal materials. In addition, there is another point, the imperial court has always had inexhaustible measures for epidemic prevention, so I will submit a statement to the cabinet! ”

Guo Chai on the side hurriedly moved a small few, laid out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, Yin Shigang thanked him, lifted the pen, looked at Zhu Ping'an, turned the cup and waved, and then immediately sent someone into Beijing.

"First, convene the various departments and yamen to determine the epidemic prevention plan, and the first thing is to concentrate medicinal materials and doctors, divide the Beijing division into several regions, and check the people who have been infected with the plague. Demarcate an area, send soldiers to guard it closely, and gather all the sick people together for treatment. Rush to make masks and distribute them to the doctors who treat them, and first of all, ensure their safety.

Second, splash the streets and alleys of Jingshi with quicklime to play a role in disinfection. In addition, the people were told that all food must be cooked before it can be eaten, and that all utensils used should be disinfected with boiling water.

Third, the gates of the city should be closed to prevent the infected people from leaving the city, causing a larger spread of the plague. The Soldiers and Horses Division, the Criminal Department, and the Jinyi Guard sent troops to patrol the streets, and found infected people and immediately sent them to the isolation area.

……！ ”

There was silence in the room, and everyone listened quietly to Zhu Ping'an's narration, what he said was very messy, so Yin Shigang recorded it first, and then divided it into categories, forming a detailed and clear movement.

After a cup of tea, Yin Shigang finished writing and handed it to Zhu Ping'an for a look, and then ordered someone to send it to Jingshi quickly.

Everyone tasted it carefully, although there were a lot of novel contents, but when you think about it carefully, it is quite profound, and it is extremely practical, so that you dare not say that the plague can be eliminated quickly, at least the epidemic can be controlled within the scope of control.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Huang Gongfu said: "The epidemic in Beijing, the civil turmoil is everywhere, natural disasters are repeated, and there are Tartars outside the gate, and I am afraid that life will be even more difficult next year!" ”

Chen Zizhuang nodded and looked at Zhu Ping'an, "Virtuous nephew, Brother Zhenxi has already said just now, I want to hear your opinion on the current situation, and this Beijing epidemic has added fuel to the fire." All of us are already in turmoil, and now, we still need you to clear the clouds and see the sun! ”

Zhu Ping'an didn't even dare to say it, looked around at everyone, everyone here was a loyal and brave man who left a glorious page in history, and their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty can be revealed. At present, Zhu Ping'an also needs these people to join his camp, and with the Ming Dynasty as the banner, he calls on these people to stand on the same front as himself. So, now is a great opportunity.

After getting the permission of Lu Zhenfei and Mu Yanzi, Zhu Ping'an opened his mouth, "Seniors, the boy Ping'an will dare to say a few words today." However, Ping An first confessed to you, and the next words, maybe some arrogance, or even some audacity, but now it is all the boy's speculation and bluntness, I hope you seniors don't be surprised! ”

"To put it bluntly, all of you here are the pillars of the clear stream, and what you want is a way to turn the tide of the tide, and no one will pass on a word of what you say today! You can rest assured! Huang Gongfu roared.

Everyone smiled and nodded, and Zhu Ping'an continued: "The Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years. "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies" This is the ancestral teaching. Even when the Warat army came to the city, the Son of Heaven never retreated from the city. This is the integrity of the Ming Dynasty, but it is also the source of chaos that may occur in the future! ”

"This is reconciliation?" Chen Zizhuang frowned, obviously not agreeing with Zhu Ping'an's words. (To be continued......) R640
