Chapter 721: Shandong Rebellion
There are many people like Qin Hu and Zhuge Sheng in Shandong, and there are countless people who either have dreams or are forced to rebel, and there are also many people like Ni Xiaosan, these people may be coerced to rebel.
In fact, the rebellion at the beginning was still within the scope of control, but with the development of the situation, Shandong was instantly turbulent, and there were countless rebels, among which the place where Li Xin's army passed through at the beginning, and finally, it spread to the whole of Shandong, and the situation in Shandong was eroded all of a sudden.
"Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, you said that your 100,000 army can destroy these bandits and rebels at any time, and now that the situation in Shandong is rotten, why does His Royal Highness the King of Qi not send troops?" Cui Mingan found Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji was drinking in the big tent, and there were several beautiful women next to him, and the big tent was full of bursts of laughter. Cui Mingan's face was beating straight when he saw it, if it weren't for Li Yuanji is His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Cui Mingan would have slapped him a long time ago.
"What are you afraid of, it's just a group of untouchables making trouble there, these people are only on the surface, in fact, there are masterminds behind them, we can only kill these superficial people now, and the people behind them will not appear." Li Yuanji pushed away a beautiful woman on his body and said disdainfully: "When they all appear, this king can send troops and wipe them out, isn't this a one-and-done solution to these troubles together?" ”
"Is there a mastermind behind it? No way. Cui Mingan said without thinking: "His Royal Highness King Qi, there will definitely be no master envoys this time, the big families in Shandong are all dedicated to Your Majesty, and they will not secretly support those warlord forces like before." His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it is better to send troops quickly, if Li Xin knows the news, he will lead the army to come if he doesn't get it. ”
"Master Cui. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, he said okay, you take care of your political affairs, I will deal with the military affairs of Shandong, when to suppress the bandits, and how to suppress the bandits is the king's business, so I don't bother Lord Cui. Li Yuanji said with a cold snort.
"King Qi. This country is the country of your Li family. Cui Mingan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Of course, it's my Li family's country, and I don't need to remind Master Lao Cui of this." Li Yuanji's face was gloomy, and he said, "Master Cui, do you know why they rebelled? ”
"This? I heard that it was caused by the land. Cui Mingan said in a low voice. Of course, he knew what the reason was, and he just wanted to take back the land, which made the people angry. However, although the Shandong family is responsible for this matter, the main thing is Li Yuanji.
"No, you're wrong." Li Yuanji objected: "It's because your Shandong family is too greedy, and you don't give people a way to live at all, Li Xin distributed the land at the beginning." But those common people have their own land, and it is better for you to take not only your own land, but even their land. Some places have been taken all, and some places are less, so some families are not satisfied, they need more land, you know? ”
"What do you mean? These families deliberately let those common people rebel? so that it can be borrowed by the hand of His Highness. Kill them all? So that the family can get more land? No way. Cui Mingan shook his head without thinking about it and said: "Kill them all, who will farm for them." Your Highness. These families are not fools. ”
Cui Mingan already knew why King Qi didn't do it now, he needed the situation to be chaotic, and then take matters into his own hands, kill all the clans and court officials who opposed him, and replace them with his own people. That's why it is said that behind the chaotic people are the support of the big families and local tyrants. When he solves these people, he can get more things, which is probably Li Yuanji's real purpose.
What does Li Yuanji want to do? Cui Mingan was shocked, and suddenly found that he had underestimated Li Yuanji. Cui Mingan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, staring at Li Yuanji quietly. This guy looks arrogant and domineering, and this is probably just his appearance.
Cui Mingan felt bitter in his heart, and only at this time did he realize that Li Yuanji was probably also thinking about being a prince. It's just that now Shandong can't go on in chaos, and Li Xin's tens of thousands of iron horsemen are in Xuzhou, and they can enter Shandong at any time.
"Your Highness, it is said that there is a family behind the back, and the lower officials do not agree, but if it is said that Li Xin's brocade guards are making trouble behind their backs, the lower officials still agree." Cui Mingan thought about it and seriously comforted: "No matter what, Your Highness, at this time, you must take action and quickly solve this matter, otherwise the matter in Shandong will be big, and Your Majesty may not be able to explain it!" ”
"Okay, then let Xu Shiji do it first, and destroy these bandits together with this king." Li Yuanji's eyes stretched out and showed a hint of worry, he was not afraid of others, but Li Yuan was not easy to deal with.
Let's say that after Cui Min got the paperwork that Li Yuanji asked Xu Shiji to send troops, he went out of the big tent, but he heard a burst of warblers behind him, and shook his head deeply, he could see that Li Yuanji didn't take his words to heart at all, and was still having fun in the camp, which was a bad phenomenon.
"No, immediately report this matter to the prince, and ask him to send another clan general to come." Cui Mingan stomped his foot hard. He has lost confidence in Li Yuanji, how can a person who only knows how to have fun solve the affairs of Shandong?
Jiankang City, Li Xin is very relaxed these days, maybe playing in the mountains and rivers, or inspecting the farmland, living a very relaxed life, this day is a small boat with Chu Suiliang, came to the river, a fishing rod in his hand, and leaned on the chair.
"Your Majesty, the autumn breeze is cool, on the river, there is a different taste!" Chu Suiliang said with a smile.
"Dengshan, is this trying to persuade me to return to Beijing?" Li Xin looked at Chu Suiliang and said.
Chu Suiliang was embarrassed for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Elder Du Ge and the general have urged many times, please return to Beijing as soon as possible to settle the country." The minister was just on the orders of two adults. ”
"Why, when I'm not in Jingshi, people's hearts are fluctuating?" Li Xin said slightly dissatisfied: "Wait, wait, sometimes, when the opportunity is gone, there will be no more." ”
"Your Majesty is waiting for Shandong? There may be an accident in Shandong, but it shouldn't be now! Chu Suiliang said with some hesitation.
"Don't underestimate Li Yuanji, our ally will help us get Shandong, at least half of Shandong. Otherwise, I ravaged Shandong in the first half of the year, wouldn't I get anything? Isn't that too shameless? Li Xin said dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, isn't there another Xingyang?" Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.
"When the Son of Heaven goes on an expedition, he will take a Xingyang?" Li Xin suddenly saw the fishing line sink, and immediately picked up the hook, and saw a big fish several feet long jumping out of the water, and immediately laughed and said: "Okay, good, Dengshan, wait for the mouth to be blessed." When you get back, let the cook clean up. ”
"The minister followed behind to eat." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said. He also picked up the hook, and saw that there was also a foot-long carp hanging on the hook, and said with a smile: "Look, the minister also borrowed His Majesty's luck to catch a small fish." ”
Li Xin saw it clearly, this guy was afraid that the fish would have been hooked a long time ago, but because he hadn't caught a fish, he kept dragging it there, and only took it out when he caught one. However, Li Xin did not point it out, but shook his head with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Shandong Urgent." Rushing in the distance, I saw Shen Qianqiu leading a few brocade guards to rush over.
"But something happened in Shandong?" Li Xin threw aside the fishing rod in his hand, and couldn't wait to order someone to row the boat to the shore, and jumped up without waiting for the boat to stop, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty Shengming, Shandong is the opposite." Shen Qianqiu said loudly: "Your Majesty, ten days ago, Fang and the county Zhuge Sheng, Qin Hu led by the people gathered hundreds of people to attack Fang and the county, and killed the Fang and the county order, now there are more than a thousand troops, eight days ago, Shanxian, Dayi, Chengwu and other places have rebelled, they killed Li Zhao's officials, or gathered hundreds of people, it is thousands of people, and all parts of Shandong are already full of wolves. ”
"What is Li Yuanji's movement?" Li Xin couldn't wait to ask.
"Our people found him in Dengzhou. This man is living a day of drinking and drinking! Shen Qianqiu said disdainfully.
"Sure enough, he is an incompetent person, but Shandong has not yet made a fuss, and the momentum is still too small. Moreover, Xu Shiji is in Caozhou, and his tens of thousands of troops will be dispatched at any time to exterminate these people. Li Xin shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, you can let General Cheng Yanjin immediately lead the army to suppress Caozhou, so that Xu Shiji does not dare to make a move." Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.
"Well, that's right, pass on my will, and fate Cheng Biting Jin to lead 30,000 troops to suppress Caozhou. Remember, you can only operate on the border of Henan, you can't go deep into Shandong, Xu Shiji is cunning by nature, and Cheng Yanjin is not his opponent. Don't do it by then, Xu Shiji has not been eliminated yet, and he has suffered a big loss. Li Xin nodded and said: "And let our people also start immediately, and strive to make Shandong more troublesome, such a little people can't do it, the bigger the noise, the better." ”
"Yes." Shen Qianqiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, the people of Jinyiwei have already made a move, and Zhuge Sheng is our person, although he is just a scholar, the former minister just wanted him to send some information, but I didn't expect that guy to be so bold that he actually made Fang and the county quarrel." ”
"Such a person should be rewarded." Li Xin nodded after hearing this, and said, "When I go to Shandong again, I want to meet him and reward him well." ”
"The emperor sees him, but it's better than any reward." Shen Qianqiu was also a little jealous of his subordinate.
"What do you know, go down and do something!" Li Xin kicked it over and scolded with a smile: "Even my own subordinates are jealous." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly retreated.
"Dengshan, it looks like we're going to Shandong again in the near future." Li Xin said with a smile.
"I am willing to follow Your Majesty." Chu Suiliang arched his hand and said. (To be continued.) )
