Chapter 554: Returning to Beijing with Success

Tang Zihe left, walking simply and freely, and did not leave Qin Kan with any handle.

Qin Kan intentionally or unintentionally partnered with her, and the cooperation was very tacit, sometimes letting the seams of his fingers loosen a little and missing some people and things in the past, it felt actually quite good.

I have to say that Tang Zihe's escape operation was very beautiful, Qin Kan has never dared to underestimate this woman, but he was still quite surprised by her ability, originally he sent Ding Shun and the young soldiers to follow Tang Zihe's prisoner car all the way, just to prepare to rescue her when he was about to arrive in Beijing, but Ding Shun did not make a move at all, and Tang Zihe escaped easily by himself.

Although he was a little stunned, Qin Kan was still very relieved. It doesn't matter if he doesn't return to the imperial court, if he is really made a female official by Zhu Houzhao, he will be the head of the Ten Princes' Mansion, show the gate to those old princesses every day, and do some work as an old bustard in the Qinglou on a part-time basis, Qin Kan estimates that Tang Zihe will not be able to help but slaughter all the old princesses of the Ten Princes' Mansion, and then gather some ruffians and scoundrels on the streets of Beijing to attack the leopard room, capture Zhu Houzhao alive and slap him wildly, with Tang Zihe's temperament, she is really likely to do this.

Tang Zihe is gone, and Qin Kan's matter is not over yet.

When leading the troops out of Beijing, Zhu Houzhao gave him a real position, "Beizhili Governor", "Governor" is a military position, all military affairs of the Governor Beizhili, "Fu" is a political position, and the general leader of the Beizhili government affairs, that is to say, the military and political power of the Beizhili is in the hands of Qin Kan, of course, this position is temporary, and the imperial court cannot really let a minister hold the military and political power of a province for a long time.

The 100,000 Beijing battalion divided the soldiers into three ways to exterminate the torture tigers. Yang Hu and others rebelled against the army, while Qin Kan remained in Bazhou City to take charge of Bazhou government affairs.

After the chaos, there will be great governance, from the beginning of the siege of the city, Qin Kan found that the credibility and majesty of the imperial court has been bankrupt in the hearts of the people of Bazhou, and the long-term oppression of the people of Bazhou is too deep. Even when the city was broken, even the rebels lost resistance, and the people of Bazhou still picked up swords and guns and fought with officers and soldiers without fear of death.

The governance of Bazhou is first of all a notice to the people, and it has been repeated again and again that the people of Bazhou who have been rebellious will not be held accountable and will not be connected. The second is to open the official warehouse. And urgently mobilized grain from the Beijing Division, set up more than 30 grain relief offices inside and outside the city, and distributed bags of rations to the people according to the head household registration, and the chaos was peaceful. The people's will is unstable. Food is the best means of stabilizing people's hearts.

The common people are still hostile to the officers and soldiers. Even when he received relief grain, he was scolding and scolding, dragging grain from the hands of officers and soldiers and still scolding non-stop, and the people of Bazhou have been fierce since ancient times. The folk martial arts style is quite heavy, and the temper is extremely hot and strong, and they will fight if they don't agree with each other, so Bazhou has been the most difficult place to calm down since ancient times.

This place also has a world-renowned specialty, that is, the horse thief, a group of three or five people, a group of twenty or thirty people, busy with farming during the day, covering his face at night all over the world to find fat sheep, things robbed and killed, everyone gathered together to divide the dirt and disperse, the face towel was taken off and the old farmer who was smiling, the government came to inquire, and he didn't know three questions with his old and cute eyes.

Such a big resentment of the people, such a fierce folk style, such a lawless ringing horse thief...... If he wants to govern Bazhou, the problems that Qin Kan will face are very complex and thorny.

The 10,000 Beijing battalion soldiers who stayed in Bazhou were mobilized, what they had to do was to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, 10,000 troops walked into the mountains, and visited all the mountains and hills within a radius of 100 miles in Bazhou, the way of visiting was a little rude, and the gathering point of the horse thieves was closed and exterminated, and the guns were not extinguished with knives and guns, and they were burned with fire, when everything withered in winter, the woods of Bazhou were only left with some withered branches, and the fire burned the forest not only forced out many hibernating animals and beasts, but also forced out the horse thieves who hid in the deep mountains and old forests. Smoked pieces of bacon surrendered to the imperial court.

…………

Anmin's notice has been posted, the imperial court's policy of Bazhou's tax-free abolition of horses has also been posted, the grain and grass of Bazhou have been caravowed into the city one after another, the Ministry of Industry has sent officials to rebuild Bazhou's houses and shops in place, and the household officials responsible for distributing grain are still smiling at the spittle of the people of Bazhou and send bags of grain to the people, the newly appointed prefect of Bazhou has arrived, and the new prefect's name is Wang Xiao, the former Nanjing household servant, who has been the prefect of the county for eight years, and has rich experience in governing the people and the city, so the ministry was directly transferred from Nanjing......

Qin Kan did all this and finally made the people of Bazhou gradually change their attitude, the imperial court has done it to such a point, what else can the people say? They came to believe that the imperial court was indeed exercising benevolent government and that it was full of sincerity.

Since ancient times, the rebels of the people are rarely the opponents of the imperial court, which is determined by the personal quality of the rebel leaders, they may have been just an ordinary farmer, bandits and even lowly slaves before the rebellion, due to the limitation of personal knowledge and experience, they did not have a very clear goal after the rebellion, some just want to eat a bowl of food, and those who are lucky enough to occupy the city will stop and indulge in enjoyment, and the idea of small wealth and peace has become the biggest drawback of the rebels.

After capturing the two cities of Jinan and Zhangde, Xing Lao Hu and Yang Hu garrisoned outside the city and enjoyed a luxurious life surrounded by money, power and beauty for a few months.

After living enough of the unserious life, he thinks of doing serious things, if this kind of person makes him successful, God will be blind.

Sure enough, the messenger sent had not yet heard back, and the two prefectures of Jinan and Zhangde were surrounded by Beijing soldiers.

Qin Kan sat in Bazhou City, from the second year of Zhengde to the spring of the third year of Zhengde, and even the New Year was spent in Bazhou City with Ding Shun and the young soldiers.

On the seventh day of the second month of the third year of Zhengde, the Hongling messenger reported to Bazhou with an eight-hundred-mile army.

Jinan, Zhangde two mansions were broken, He Yong and Mao Rui personally led the troops into the city to fight, the anti-army leaders Xing Lao Hu and Yang Hu died in the chaos after breaking the city, and at the same time Miao Kui led 30,000 Beijing battalion soldiers to defeat another rebel leader Zhang Mao in Zhending Mansion in Beizhili, the morale of the Beijing battalion soldiers was like a rainbow, and the anti-army collapsed at a touch. At the time of the rout, Zhang Mao was captured alive by the anti-water generals under his command and sacrificed in front of Miao Kui's tent.

After a while, the war spread to the rebellion of Bazhou, which spread to the three provinces, was finally extinguished by Qin Kan.

The news reached the Beijing Division, the court and the ministers congratulated, in addition to the praise of Qin Kan, there were also some discordant voices, many officials, including Qin Kan's father-in-law Du Hong, immediately went to the table, asking Zhu Houzhao to recall Qin Kan as soon as possible, and it is not a good thing for the military and political power of Beizhili to hold the hands of one person. As for the official position of the governor of Beizhili, which only existed during the war, it is time to step down and hand over the seal.

February 15 of the third year of Zhengde. Qin Kan left He Yong, Mao Rui and other generals to lead 20,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion to continue to exterminate the remnants of the rebels in various places, and the remaining nearly 80,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion were brought back to the Beijing division by Qin Kan.

*****************************************************************

Outside the city of Bazhou, the army pulled out the camp. After saying goodbye to the generals who stayed in Bazhou and the officials of the prefect's yamen. Qin Kan's guard of honor came out. Slowly walked out of the east gate of Bazhou.

On the side of the moat outside the city gate, thousands of people stood quietly on both sides of the official road, and Qin Kan, who was wearing a dark yellow python robe, just walked out of the city gate. To be honest, he didn't expect the people to spontaneously gather outside the city gate to see him off, he thought that his departure was cold, even if someone saw him, it was with hatred to watch him leave, but at this moment, the people outside the city did not have any hatred on their faces.

Sincerely, the golden stone is open, at this moment, Qin Kan's eyes are a little moist.

Breaking through the city is nothing, and it is nothing to exterminate the rebels, and winning back the lost people's hearts and minds is the biggest gain in the past few months.

Four elderly elders stepped forward, knelt in front of Qin Kan's horse and kowtowed respectfully, and then held a huge blue-topped umbrella to Qin Kan, and the big umbrella was unfolded, and the names of many people were densely written on it.

Qin Kan became more and more excited, is this the "Wanmin Umbrella"? An official with a clean official reputation and a public welfare for the benefit of the people that he is only eligible to receive when he leaves office?

"Congratulations to Marquis Qinβ€”β€”"

Thousands of people knelt down, and the sound shook the sky.

What happens when the snow melts?

Let's become spring. …… Qin Kan looked at the lush spring outside the city and thought.

In the sound of farewell, Qin Kan rode his horse and left Bazhou City.

…………

…………

After two days of marching, Qin Kan and 80,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion finally returned to the long-lost Beijing division.

With the majestic and majestic Jingshi City Wall in sight, Qin Kan's tired expression faded a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief with joy.

The last order for the soldiers of the Beijing camp was to return to the camp, and Qin Kan only led dozens of guards into the city.

Compared with the strong scene of the people of Bazhou seeing off, the Jingshi is obviously much more deserted, and there are still people coming and going at the city gate, but there is no minister who welcomes him.

Qin Kan couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking about it, with his current disgusting court interpersonal relationships, expecting the ministers to gather at the gate of the city to look up at the triumphant return of this minister, presumably even if Zhu Houzhao gave an order, others would not come.

Entering the city, Qin Kan first went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to hand over the handover of the handover seal, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to go through the procedures for the resignation of the superintendent, and then went to the leopard room, wanting to show Zhu Hou the details of the rebellion in Bazhou, who knew that he was stopped by the guards at the door of the leopard room, and the Han general told Qin Kan with a sad face that His Majesty rarely came to the leopard room these days, and he was busy every morning and evening.

The word "busy" surprised Qin Kan, and he really couldn't figure out what it was like for a lazy, gluttonous and fun-loving emperor to be seriously busy.

However, after General Dahan told His Majesty about the busy location, Qin Kan understood everything.

…………

In a wine shop at the mouth of a remote alley in the east city of Jingshi.

The guards hugged Qin Kan and came to the wine shop, Qin Kan walked in slowly, looked around, and didn't find Zhu Houzhao's figure, but in front of him, a shop guy with a white towel on his shoulder came over, and very quickly brushed the table and chair with a white scarf, and then bowed towards Qin Kan, grinning at Qin Kan with a mouthful of white teeth.

"Yo, how many of you are there? How about a half-cut of wine and a few side dishes? Our apricot blossom wine is authentic and famous, and if you don't taste it, you will live for half a lifetime in vain......"

Qin Kan's eyes focused on the shopkeeper's face, stared blankly for a while, and then ...... Take a gasp.
