Chapter 427: Yizhou Soldiers
There are two kinds of fairy tales, one is a real fairy tale and the other is a made-up fairy tale.
And the famous Jinyiwei is the fairy tale made up, just like the Ming Dynasty, after more than two hundred years, the sharp blade of Jinyiwei is no longer sharp.
The winter of the fourth year of the Apocalypse was exceptionally cold for Jinyiwei.
In Suzhou City, where the literary style was at its peak and Wu Yannong was in the language, thousands of citizens of the three religions and nine streams surrounded more than 100 Jinyi Wei Ti cavalry, killing one Jinyi Wei General Banner, three Xiaoqi, 17 soldiers, and more than 40 people. Under the protection of his subordinates, Baihu Wantong barely broke out of the encirclement, but broke an arm.
Li Shi, the weaving eunuch of Suzhou and Hangzhou, was so frightened that he hid in the toilet and escaped. He no longer dared to stay in Suzhou, and immediately fled back to Nanjing.
Li Shi went crazy that night, full of nonsense, didn't know how to eat and drink, and was incontinent. Every night, Li Shi shouted everywhere, saying what about 100,000 heavenly soldiers, what to say about killing rebellion!
scared the dignified eunuch into such a look, no one dared to suppress it, so he could only use eight hundred miles to expedite and report to the capital.
The news of the rebellion in Suzhou spread rapidly, along the canal, first to Shandong. It is not uncommon to expel the mine supervisor and the tax supervisor in the past, but there has never been such a violent thing, and he actually killed dozens of Jinyi guards, which scared the big eunuch crazy. Suzhou is too violent!
"I didn't expect this Gonggong Li to be a master!" Tang Guang smiled first: "He smashed the errand in Suzhou, and he will not have the face to be a Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving in the future, and the palace will not let go of the incompetent and bad dog." Rather than die in a daze. It's better to pretend to be crazy and stupid, first, to make things bigger, and second, to survive in death. Maybe there's a way to live. ”
Listening to Tang Guang's words, Zhang Ke nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Ke couldn't stay in Shandong, he transferred Tang Guang over because he valued his quick head and was suitable for dealing with complex situations. Let him look at Xu Zhi, assist Qiao Fu, and take Shandong in his hand step by step.
Xu Zhi laughed self-deprecatingly: "I thought I would attack the Yansheng Mansion. Xu Zhi dares to be called the first bold! Unexpectedly, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and Suzhou actually killed Jinyiwei. scared the big eunuch, this is a slap on the face, amazing, really powerful! ”
"There's more!" Qiao Fu smiled: "I heard that the people of Suzhou want to seize the canal. Cut off the transport. starved to death in the capital's turtle grandson, maybe he will snatch the Forbidden City and become the emperor Lao Tzu! ”
These days, rumors are flying all over the sky, and Zhang Ke is not sure.
"Old Yang, you are from Jiangnan, what do you think of this incident in Suzhou, will it be to the point of rebellion?"
"Absolutely not!"
Yang Tingyun's face was solemn, sighed, and said: "This kind of thing happened in Suzhou, which was indeed unexpected by the old man. But think about it. And it makes sense. ”
"Reasonable?" Qiao Fu's eyes widened suddenly, and he sneered: "Master Yang, kill the Son of Heaven's army." But it's like a rebellion, Zhou Shunchang should destroy the nine clans, is he tired of being crooked? Could it be that the Zhou family is tired of being crooked? Don't have a head for a little tax? ”
Listening to Qiao Fu's words, Yang Tingyun smiled slightly.
"Mr. Qiao, you only know one thing but you don't know the other!" Yang Tingyun said: "In the past few decades, there have been few things to exterminate the nine clans. Even if Zhou Shunchang really rebelled. It's enough to cut off his head. He gave it a go and stabbed things out. It is just right to deter the capital, and it kills multiple birds with one stone. If you die, you are a martyr, and if you don't die, you are the benefactor of thousands of families, this business is too cost-effective! ”
Peel off the gorgeous coat of officialdom, and inside it is all dirty and calculating.
Zhou Shunchang is not a person, he has a huge Donglin Party behind him, and behind the Donglin Party is an even larger Jiangnan gentry business group.
The imperial court sent mine supervisors and tax supervisors to increase their income, which was to steal meat from them and eat it.
is as strong as Wanli, and it is also full of trouble because of the affairs of the mine supervisor and the tax supervisor. The apocalypse did not have the prestige of Wanli, and the eunuchs were hastily sent to open up financial resources, and it was the rich Jiangnan that suffered the greatest loss.
It is impossible for the Donglin Party not to counteract, there is a heavenly apocalypse in the capital, there is Wei Zhongxian, and they can't force the emperor to change his mind. If the high-end route doesn't work, they can only start from the low end, and the soft ones can't go to the hard ones!
It happened that Zhou Shunchang had a great reputation and strength in Suzhou City, and when they heard that Li Shi was going to collect taxes, they were ready to deal with it.
Instigated the people to rebel, and used the strongest means to intimidate the imperial court, if the apocalypse retreated, the southeast would make a lot of money. If they don't retreat, they can also blame the people, the law does not blame the public, even if the apocalypse is angry, can they still slaughter Suzhou!
"What a calculation!" Qiao Fu couldn't help but sigh: "What if the imperial court must be investigated?" ”
Yang Tingyun said: "Just use a few nobodies to take the blame, at most give Zhou Shunchang out, calm the anger of the Son of Heaven, and give everyone an explanation!" ”
"What kind of explanation is this!" Zhang Ke suddenly remembered the impassioned masterpiece "The Tombstone of Five People" that he had read in his previous life, isn't it exactly what he is talking about!
When the Donglin Party desperately sang the praises of the rebellion in Suzhou, gave the eunuch party a heavy blow, and the five substitute ghosts died heavier than Mount Tai, the Ming court decreed that the Forbidden City would not go out, and the finances were exhausted, which was equivalent to going to the slaves and the displaced people to run a marathon and dragging them to death on the road, and the Ming Dynasty irreversibly went to extinction.
"If Suzhou is not severely punished, the imperial court will lose face and lose its prestige. The gentry ministers kept ordering, even the eunuchs in the palace, who were originally the most loyal lackeys, did not dare to leave Beijing to do business, so that the Son of Heaven really became a loner, and no one could command it! ”
Zhang Ke saw the situation in front of him clearly, and suddenly he had some sympathy for the apocalypse.
"Qiao Fu, how are the army preparing?"
"No problem, two thousand elite soldiers, twenty clippers, and four gunboats, which are much stronger than the rags of the Jiangnan Naval Division." Qiao Fu said proudly: "Are you going to Suzhou to quell the rebellion, but I heard that Suzhou is a paradise on earth, I have to toss it, no, it's to see!" ”
Zhang Ke smiled: "Don't worry, wait for the court to beg us, it's not too late for us to make a move." At present, enough manpower is dispatched to keep an eye on the movement in Suzhou. ”
……
"Nine thousand years old, something is wrong!" The eunuch Xiaofuzi knelt at the door of the celebrant eunuch, tears kept flowing, and his little face was miserable.
"What's wrong? What is the mourning? ”
"Qiyu is nine thousand years old, Li, Grandpa Li is crazy!"
"What? Which Grandpa Lee? ”
"It's Li Shi and Father-in-law Li, he is crazy to be bullied!" The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and Xiaofuzi's tears were like pearls with broken threads, and they couldn't stop at all.
Wei Zhongxian's face was black and scary, and he came over in a few steps and snatched the secret security in Xiao Fuzi's hand. He didn't know how to read, so the eunuch Wang Tiqian came over, took it, and read it for Wei Zhongxian: "...... Li Shi of Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving led the crowd to check the taxes, passed by a silk workshop, and when he went in to check, thousands of people in Suzhou heard the news and came, and their words were discordant and quarreled. More than 20 people were killed in Jinyiwei, and Gonggong Li escaped from Suzhou and returned to Nanjing. ”
"Rebellion!"
Wei Zhongxian felt a wave of anger burning in his chest, and his whole person was about to be burned to ashes!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
flew up and kicked it right on the table of Rosewood, only to hear a bang, and the table turned over. Wei Zhongxian's boots were kicked out, the eldest mother's toes were exposed, the nail cover was broken from it, and the blood kept flowing out, making the corners of Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitch in pain.
"Oh, Grandpa Wei, why are you so careless, go and pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
"Not necessarily!" Wei Zhongxian snapped: "Our family can hold on, when we were clean, it hurt a lot more than this!" Our family is not afraid, not afraid! ”
Wei Zhongxian said on his lips, but his heart was churning.
If the matter in Suzhou is by no means an ugly problem, if it is not dealt with ruthlessly, other places will follow suit, and all the mine supervisors and tax supervisors will be driven back, and the financial predicament will no longer be solved!
But Suzhou is far away, and how much can he do.
Dongchang and Jinyiwei want people to be afraid, if they are not afraid, there is no use for fart. As for the army, the southern provinces will definitely not mention that the imperial court will help to deal with Suzhou. The people and horses in the capital are all rice buckets, and the family can't stand it, let alone the expeditionary battle!
As for the nine sides, there are some elites, but it costs money to let them go south, and they have to pay for the extraction. And these people have loose military discipline, which is simply worse than bandits. You can't turn heaven on earth into hell just to vent your anger!
"Oh, it's so hateful!"
At this time, a little eunuch came in a hurry outside and sent a recital from the governor of Yingtian.
It turned out that the turmoil of the day also hit the large and small yamen in Suzhou, and it took three days of chaos before it calmed down. Afterwards, the imperial court strictly investigated the people who caused the rebellion, and arrested the five masterminds of the rioters, Yan Peiwei, Ma Jie, Shen Yang, Yang Nianru, and Zhou Wenyuan. Immediately, Zhou Shunchang was taken down and placed in prison, and he asked for a decision.
The anger that Wei Zhongxian had just suppressed instantly churned again.
These five people have horsemen, house slaves, and idlers, can they call on thousands of people to dare to attack or even kill Jinyiwei?
And they took the initiative to come to the case afterwards and took the crime on them, obviously sent by the big man to take the cylinder!
"Bastard, Mao Yilu's head is full of! Take five untouchables at random, and you want to bluff them. He is a brainless pig in our family, is it so easy to deceive! ”
Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Send it back, check, don't find out who is behind the scenes, and never give up!" ”
Wang Tiqian, the eunuch who read the newspaper to Lao Wei, looked at the content carefully and suddenly shook his head.
"Father-in-law Wei, what you always said is right, but Mao Zhongcheng also has difficulties, he just wants to investigate, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to investigate!"
Lao Wei's head finally cooled down, and he was able to mobilize thousands of people to make a rebellion, and his power was amazing. Unless you send an army, you won't find anything at all. If there is another riot, the face of the court will be even more ugly!
"Hmph, can't our family endure it?"
Wang Tiqian's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Grandpa Wei, if you don't want to bear it, maybe someone doesn't believe in evil!" Wang Tiqian said in a low voice: "Do you think the Yizhou soldiers can succeed?" (To be continued)
