Chapter 149: The Storm Rises Again

Fujian, Yanping Province.

Yanping Province did not suffer from drought, but the area of Sanming and Yong'an was subjected to the violent and westward movement of the hungry people to loot frantically, and the hungry people passed through the place like locusts crossing the border, robbing and killing large households, small and medium-sized landlords, and even the miscellaneous grains of the poor people's homes were plundered, not only that, they did not let go of the rice that was filled with grout in the fields.

When the news spread, without the need for government organization, the villages and villages spontaneously organized young and strong to help the officers and soldiers to help defend the passes, and Lin Zhang, the chief soldier of Yanping Prefecture, was also afraid of being punished by five levels, so he urgently dispatched troops from various counties in the southeast and northeast to strictly guard the passes and strictly prevent the rogues from penetrating deep into Yanping.

In the house of a large family in the town of Sankawahiko.

Deng Boss stayed in the room bored and pondered, after he received the order, he led the team into Fujian, and successively contacted countless large and small rebel teams, but he was disappointed, all of them were called loudly, but in fact they were not as good as bandits, bandits still have their own territory, and they can get a few decent weapons, but those rebels have nothing, purely a group of homeless people.

After looking for a long time, Deng Boss and his entourage found the Yongde Army, the Yongde Army fought in Xianyou, captured more than 3,000 weapons, and it was easy to capture and plunder towns and towns all the way, and it has become the strongest and most appealing part of the Righteous Army.

Boss Deng and other people came to vote, Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen did not hesitate to accept the dozens of archers as soon as they saw them, they needed skilled and experienced archers too much, after joining the gang, Boss Deng quickly gained a foothold in the rebel army, and was valued by Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen.

However, seeing that the Yongde army was going deep into the northwest mountains day by day, Deng Boss was very bored, Yinzhen did go to Fujian to quell the chaos, but he was appeased, and he was in Quanzhou, if he didn't transfer the Yongde army back and fight with Yinzhen, they had no chance to shoot at all.

"Boss, Wang Fu sent someone to ask you to discuss important matters." Lu Zi knocked on the door and said outside.

"It's all, what's there to discuss?" Boss Deng opened the door, scolded sullenly, thought about it, and walked out.

In the main hall of a mansion in the town, there were already more than a dozen people seated, after Boss Deng entered, Wang Fu nodded at him, as if he had said hello, and then said: "Everyone knows the current situation, since Kangxi Ye issued a notice to appease and immigrate to Taiwan, many brothers have been moved, and people sneak away every day, and I heard that the other two big rebel armies have also been disbanded from the mountain." Calling everyone here today is to discuss, what should we do? ”

One person immediately continued: "Everyone rebelled just to survive, since it's okay to go back, and you can go to Taiwan to settle down, why don't you go back?" ”

"That's it, no one has rebelled, and sooner or later, our group will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army, and there will be no way to survive at that time."

As soon as he heard this, Boss Deng immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and he hurriedly said, "Those hungry people may be fine when they go back, but it's hard to say when we go back, don't forget, everyone, we have killed thousands of officers and soldiers." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people were silent, and their Yongde army killed four or five thousand officers and soldiers, so could they really be okay when they went back? Even if Kangxi doesn't pursue it, will those local officers and soldiers give up? But if you don't accept the appeasement, what can you do? Keep wandering? Sooner or later, it will be the end of being surrounded and suppressed.

Seeing that there was some coldness, Zhang Zhen coughed lightly before saying: "Our Yongde army now has 12,000 people, I discussed it with Wang Tou, and we are willing to go to the black with us, we welcome it, and we are not reluctant to accept the appeasement to go to Taiwan, everyone is good to get together and disperse, and we don't want to lead everyone to a dead end." ”

"Zhang Tou, how do you say this, everyone wants to die together, live together, since the day of the rebellion, we just live one day at a time."

"In fact, there is no way to live until it is finished." Boss Deng stood up and saw that everyone was looking over, so he said: "We can't go any further into the mountainous areas, the mountainous terrain is narrow, there are too many passes, there is no room for maneuver, once the officers and soldiers encircle and suppress, it will be a dead end." Besides, now the precautions in various places are very tight, and every time we hit a village or a town, the losses are very large, and I think that if we want to survive, we will turn around and go to the coastal plains. ”

Back to the coastal plains? Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, Wang Fu said suspiciously: "There is no way to raise food along the coast, and we have no siege equipment, so we can't attack a well-prepared city. ”

Boss Deng smiled slightly: "The officers and soldiers have now sent troops to guard the passes everywhere, and the troops in each city must be empty, as long as we break through the passes and enter the plain, the imperial court will think of appeasement to us, at that time, we will have the capital to negotiate conditions, and everyone will have a way to live." ”

Zhang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "Those dirty officials, what do you have to talk about with them, can you believe their words?" ”

"Who said we're going to talk to the magistrate?" Boss Deng immediately said: "Don't say it on the notice, the fourteenth prince Yinzhen is the Qincha who appeases the hungry people, and now he is in Quanzhou, let's talk to him, can he be a prince who doesn't care about his reputation?" Besides, if he dares to lie to us, and the hungry people who go back will dare to believe him? I'm afraid that there will be a riot again, he is the Qincha who came to appease us, as long as he can appease us back and immigrate to Taiwan, it will be a great credit, why should he have a reputation for killing and surrendering? ”

There is a way to live, who is willing to go to the end of the road, as soon as he heard this, everyone's minds were alive. After pondering for a long time, Wang Fucai stood up, "Boss Deng is right, if you go down in the mountains, it will be a dead end sooner or later, and we will return to the plains, we still have a glimmer of hope for life, if you have no opinion, it will be decided." ”

Quanzhou Mansion.

Yinzhen came to Quanzhou, and Yu Zhun, who was the superintendent of Fujian Customs, naturally wanted to visit.

Yu Zhun is the grandson of the famous Qing official Yu Chenglong of the Kangxi Dynasty, the governor of Jiangsu, exiled to Heilongjiang because of the deficit of the domain, just when Yinzhen established the General Administration of Customs, reformed the customs, and removed the four major customs superintendents, he was pardoned by Kangxi, demoted and transferred to the Fujian Customs Supervisor, and Chen Pengnian, who was ousted with him, was also named by Yinzhen to serve as the Jiangxi Customs Superintendent of the General Administration of Customs.

Hearing that Yinzhen was in Quanzhou to help the victims, he needed a large amount of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes to make seeds, so he ordered someone to make a special trip to Taiwan to purchase them, and sent them with the ship.

Seeing the potatoes with his own eyes, Yinzhen couldn't help but be very excited, the nutritional value of this thing is much higher than that of sweet potatoes, and the yield is not much worse than sweet potatoes, it is really something that must be vigorously promoted, he glanced at Yu Zhun, who was a little thin, and asked with a smile: "This king went to Guangzhou in March, passing through Xiamen, you have not yet arrived, when did you take office?" ”

Yu Zhun replied respectfully, "Back to the prince, the lower official received an appointment in Liaodong, went south by boat, and arrived last month." ”

Yinzhen nodded, "Have you seen the new customs system?" Shaozi takes advantage of the king in Fujian, don't have any worries, drastic innovation for the king, the old customs system is too deep, must be thoroughly rectified. After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "In addition, pay more attention to all aspects of Taiwan's situation, Taiwan is about to be vigorously developed, and those who are not competent will not be able to do it." ”

"Your Majesty respects the will of the prince." Yu Zhun bowed and replied, but he was shocked in his heart, Lord Sui, is this going to let me go to Taiwan?

Yinzhen seemed to know what he was thinking, and then said: "This matter is not in a hurry, first put the Fujian Customs in order." However, in three or five years, Taiwan will be established as a province, and when the time comes, you will be allowed to go in advance and occupy the position first. ”

Taiwan wants to build a province Yu Zhun Yixi, hurriedly bowed and waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your support." ”

Taking the opportunity of transporting corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other seeds to various places, Yinzhen Weifu took a group of guards to patrol around and secretly inspect the situation of relief to the victims in various places.

Fujian's hunger riot killed a lot of officials who embezzled money and grain, so this relief is basically decent, each porridge shed is really wrapped in towels do not seep, chopsticks do not fall, porridge shed grain, Yinzhen has also carefully inspected, are good rice mixed with all kinds of grains.

Seeing this situation, Yinzhen was also quite satisfied, and had no intention of thoroughly investigating whether there was any embezzlement, but the hungry people everywhere were sad to see Yinzhen, compared to the hungry people in the city, these hungry people outside the city were more miserable, all of them were dark and thin, and their faces were numb, and most of them were ragged, and those who did not cover their bodies abounded, and the same was true for women.

Yinzhen only looked at it and sighed secretly, this kind of emaciation is caused by long-term malnutrition, I really can't imagine that the farmers in Fujian are so poor, no wonder they are eager to go to Taiwan.

Back in Quanzhou, Yinzhen sent a letter to Zheng Qinghai in Shanghai, asking him to buy 300,000 pieces of wearable homespun cloth to send to Quanzhou, in these hungry people who immigrated to Taiwan, Yinzhen was willing to invest money, and was not afraid to invest money in them, he believed that the more he invested, the more he would return.

As the Yongde army turned eastward, Fujian, which had been becoming more and more stable and quiet, rose again.

The more than 20,000 men and horses of Lan Li, the land governor of Fujian, had to stay in the coastal prefectures and counties, and they had to divide their troops to defend more than 10 passes, large and small, so that the troops of each pass were relatively weak, and in fact they only played a role in transmitting the enemy's situation.

The news that the Yongde army turned around and went straight to Dehua and Yongchun soon spread to Quanzhou.

When Yinzhen heard the report, he sighed, he thought that he didn't need to use the sword, but he didn't expect that under such good appeasement conditions, there would be stubborn people, since they were looking for their own death, they had to fulfill them. He immediately issued a military order, and the military generals at and above the level of Quanzhou Prefecture came to discuss.

Yinzhen is the commander of all the water, land soldiers and horses in Fujian, as soon as the military order is issued, no one dares to slack off, and a group of generals soon gathered in the governor's meeting hall.
