Chapter 355 (Xie Yeshuo, I hope there is no book shortage of two brothers' monthly passes.) ）

Song Nan learned the news of the Wen'an riot at the first time, as the head of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, there were tens of thousands of Jinyi Wei Ti Cavalry scattered all over the Ming Dynasty, and the daily news gathered into the capital like snowflakes, to put it mildly, it was only a few hundred miles away from the capital in Bazhou, which was thousands of miles away from the southwest and northwest borders, and the internal message transmission system of Jinyi Wei could also transmit information in a few days.

At the beginning, Song Nan didn't pay attention to this news, and it was not surprising that the Jinyi Wei Yamen had to receive thousands of intelligence messages from all over the country every day, and there was information about civil unrest, drought and flood, banditry, and so on almost every day. In recent months, there has been more and more news of civil unrest in various places, which is quite overwhelming, and Song Nan's focus is not on the riots themselves, but on actively analyzing the reasons for their occurrence.

Along with the intelligence also sent the information of the riot thief leader, although Wen'an County does not have the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but the adjacent Bazhou is not far from the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Yamen, which belongs to the Jinyi Wei Banner School with a full staff of more than 1,000 people, and hundreds of flag schools run around the county to investigate intelligence every day, and Wen'an County is naturally among them.

Jin Yiwei has long had a systematic statistics on the officials in the jurisdiction, the leaders of various industries, and even the ruffians on the ground, etc., as long as you know their sex names, you can know their general information.

"Liu Liu, whose real name is Liu Pet, Liu Qi, whose real name is Liu Chen, are all from Liu Zhuangzi in the east of Wen'an County, the two of them have learned martial arts since childhood, are good at archery with blades, and are brave and brave. His father gave birth to seven sons and one daughter, only Liu Pet and Liu Chen's two sons and young daughter Liu Yuerong remained; This farming, in recent years, because of the homeless people abandoned the fields and rushed, three or five together for bandits, the Bazhou government ordered the counties to clean up, the arrest of the displaced people and the punishment of returning to the fields for farming, because of the courage of the Liu brothers, Wen'an County hired dozens of people led by the Liu brothers as bounty arresters, running between the mountains and trees in the county every day, and capturing the thieves and bandits and the homeless people. ”

In a short paragraph of the description of the two brothers Liu Liu and Liu Qi, Song Nan basically understood who the two brothers of the rebellion were, it turned out that these two brothers were also civilians who farmed the land, but because they had some kung fu and were also famous in the countryside on weekdays, they were hired by the government as a bounty hunter to engage in the capture of bandits and bandits in Wen'an County and surrounding counties and the people who had left the land.

But Song Nan didn't understand a little, since Liu Liu and Liu Qi brothers were bounty hunters organized by the government, they actually belonged to the category of officers and soldiers, and they should have a close relationship with the government, how could they suddenly become the leaders of the mob and rebel, it is really a bit puzzling.

Song Nan didn't plan to delve into the root cause, the news summary from various places in the past few months has increasingly made a worry in Song Nan's heart come true, in the nearly two months after the implementation of Liu Jin's new policy, the number of mob riots has increased several times, which is obviously a bit unusual, to say that this qiē has nothing to do with Liu Jin's new policy, Song Nan does not believe it anyway. That policy has driven many people on the verge of bankruptcy to the point of death, and it is better for them to flee the land even to ask for food than to work for a year and end up with a large debt to their owners.

In order to prevent the people from fleeing, Liu Jin ordered to adopt such a method as in Wen'an County, and sent people to act as arresters to arrest the fleeing people and come back.

Originally, the mob rebellion was constrained by a huge price, and everyone knew that once the rebellion was made, there was basically no way out, and there was no other way but death after being exterminated, but at such a huge cost, riots still broke out frequently, obviously because there was no livelihood, and the left and right were dead, so they took risks.

In the words of future generations, the mass base is so good that if you don't rise up to rebel, you won't be able to take such a good opportunity, and many barren state capitals are devastated everywhere, like dry grass, and a little fire can start a prairie fire, which is terrifying to think about.

Although Song Nan can come to this conclusion, he can't prove that this qiē is related to Liu Jin's new policy, which is not something that can be said casually, once this matter is linked to the new policy, he and Liu Jin will have no way back, and it will definitely be a life-and-death situation; In the current situation, he is not convincing enough to convince Zhengde to stand on his side.

The second wave of news from Wen'an was also learned by Song Nan on the evening of the same day, and when he knew that more than 100 officers and soldiers had been wiped out, Song Nan realized that this was no longer something that ordinary mobs dared to do. Under normal circumstances, when the people are in turmoil in a certain place, once the officers and soldiers arrive, the mob will immediately disperse, and they are just trying to snatch or kill a few big families who are rich and unkind for a moment, and they dare to openly ambush the officers and soldiers of 100 and destroy them, this is an organized rebellion.

In the middle of the night, the lights in front of the Fengtian Hall are full of shadows, the wind lanterns are hung high on the high poles in the square in front of the palace, and the civil and military officials stand in front of the hall one by one with solemn faces, waiting for the convening of the emergency court meeting; Someone pulled the flag to rebel, this is the biggest thing in this dynasty, as the official of the court, everyone is angry but also with fear and shame.

Several little eunuchs struggled to push the heavy door of the hall open, and the door was as thick as a foot, and the door as high as two feet high rubbed against the door mortar, making people's tongues sour and irritable.

Hundreds of giant candles in the main hall have been lit, and the ministers found that the emperor was already sitting on the dragon throne, his face was pale and ugly under the candlelight, and he was in a daze with his cheeks in a daze. After all the mermaids entered the temple to pay homage, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, first came out to introduce the latest news obtained by the military department, although he did not care much about the attack on the officers and soldiers, but out of a certain psychology, he still expressed his self-blame.

Before Zhengde could speak, Liu Jin spoke first: "Lord Liu, now is not the time to blame yourself, now is the time to quickly take countermeasures to deal with it, the emperor is anxious about this matter." ”

Liu Daxia said expressionlessly: "The Ministry of War has sent a member of the chief officer to check on the town, and ordered the commander of Ulzhou Wei to make Chen Wei pay attention to it, and the emperor can relax as much as possible; The thieves are just a rabble, and it was also the reason why Ulzhou Wei took it lightly before, but in fact, it is not a big deal. ”

Liu Jin said: "There is such a big thing, Bazhou Wei actually only sent a hundred officers and soldiers to go, and it ended up like this, doesn't this make the thieves even more arrogant?" Lord Liu can no longer be negligent, in recent months, there has been a lot of turmoil in various places, and the guards in various places don't know what to eat, and the annual military expenditure is millions of taels, so he can't even settle the affairs of his family, and he was actually annihilated by the chaotic people, and the officers and soldiers were really embarrassed to be thrown home. ”

Liu Daxia frowned and said: "Father-in-law Liu, it's better to have fewer discussions on military matters, Ulzhou Wei is just an unintentional mistake, victory and defeat are common, what's so embarrassing?" In the past few months, the people in various places have been disturbed, and they have not been completely crushed by bullets? I'm not worried at all, I just feel that I need to inform the emperor and all the adults to explain the response of the military department. ”

Liu Jin was choked and opened his mouth speechlessly, Zhengde listened to Liu Daxia's words, his face looked a little better, and he said in a dumb voice: "What does Liu Shangshu mean not to worry about?" ”

Liu Daxia said: "The emperor is relaxed, there are hundreds of mobs, why worry? It will be settled in a few days. ”

Zhengde sighed, his expression became relaxed, and the ministers saw that Liu Daxia didn't care, and their hearts calmed down, and they also felt that their nerves were a little too tight, and they originally planned to mobilize the surrounding soldiers and horses to exterminate them, but now it seems that there is no need to do so.

In the hum of relief, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty, the thieves in Wen'an seem to be not ordinary mobs, and the ministers feel that the court should not be taken lightly, and it is necessary to send important personnel to quickly exterminate them, so as not to make the thieves sit out of control." ”

Everyone looked in shock, but saw that the person who spoke was Song Nan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Liu Daxia said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Song, I have already said that the military department has its own response, and there is no need to make a fuss. ”

Song Nan said: "Liu Shangshu, I think that this time the thieves are menacing, and they are by no means a rabble, and if they are not extinguished in time, it is inevitable that the civilians in the surrounding counties will be coerced to join; In the past, when the riots were carried out, the officers and soldiers dispersed before the mob arrived, but this time not only did they not disperse, but they set up ambushes to ambush the officers and soldiers, and they were entrenched in Wen'an County. ”

Liu Daxia smiled and said, "Lord Song is going to teach the old man how to do things." The old man admits that you Lord Song have some means, but you don't have to look at others as fools, the matter under the jurisdiction of my military department, please don't make up your mind. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "I'm just reminding, and I'm not the master of your military department, why should Liu Shangshu overreact?" The matter of civil change can be small or small, and it is better to deal with it carefully than the sky; Lord Liu, I have more than 1,000 horses in Bazhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, if you need help, Lord Liu can just say hello. ”

Liu Daxia smiled and said, "Why should I be so active, it turned out that I had this idea. ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "What did I think?" ”

Liu Daxia shook his head and smiled silently. Some of the ministers whispered, pointing at Song Nan and shaking their heads, Song Nan was dazed for a while, and suddenly understood that he was kind enough to help Liu Daxia, but he was mistaken for wanting to mobilize the brocade guards to grab the credit.

Song Nan sighed secretly in his heart, so he had to arch his hand and say: "That's it, since that's the case, I'll talk too much, in short, I want to remind Lord Liu, to extinguish quickly, without delay, and not to let the thieves sit big, coerce the common people, and make it out of control." ”

Liu Daxia sneered and arched his hand: "Thank you for reminding me." ”
