In the eyes of these gentry, Li Yan's direct subjugation of Zheng Zhilong's training of recruits will inevitably annoy the Fujian military headed by Yu Zhigao, and for the sake of power, Yu Zhigao will definitely be on his side, as long as he promises some more benefits, it will not be difficult to persuade Yu Zhigao.

However, the result of the contact surprised everyone, and Yu Zhigao, who had just returned from the "suppression of bandits" in Penghu, only said one word to the representatives they sent:

"Get out!"

"Yu Zhigao is too ignorant of lifting, who does he think he is?" Some gentry shouted dissatisfied.

Some of the gentry were silent. Yu Zhigao is not a fool, he rushed to Penghu, but when he came back, he heard that Li Kuiqi had attacked Fuzhou, and he must have reacted to being tricked, where did he have a good reputation for himself?

If you can't persuade Yu Zhigao, you won't have much confidence in dealing with Li Yanzhi, so you can only take the upper line and suppress Li Yanzhi at the officialdom level.

Under the leadership of Lin Rui, the leader of the Fuzhou merchant gang, the gentry once again begged to see Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and asked Xiong Wencan to punish Li Yanzhi's lawlessness.

"The gentry is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, then Li Yanzhi did not have an order from the imperial court, and there was no military order from Futai, so he brazenly attacked Quanzhou, killed Huang Zheng, arrested several gentry in Quanzhou, looted family property and humiliated the gentry's wives and daughters, it was simply lawless, and his behavior was no different from rebellion! Futai, we are here to ask Futai to stop Li Yanzhi's atrocities, and ask Futai to report to the imperial court, remove him from his post and punish his atrocities! Lin Ruiyi said solemnly.

"Yes, Futai, you can't let Li Yanzhi do anything wrong!" The other gentry also shouted.

Xiong Wencan naturally knew what happened in Quanzhou, and his heart was full of bitterness at the moment. Seeing that he has been serving as governor of Fujian for two years, and he has appeased the pirate Zheng Zhilong, it can be regarded as making some contributions, and if he operates it again, he can rise one level, not to mention being transferred back to the imperial court, and he can always be transferred to Huguang and Zhejiang, which are rich provinces, and maybe he can become the governor. Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor sent Li Yanzhi, a bad star, to Fujian, and made a mess of the situation in Fujian!

Since Li Yan came, it has only been a month or two, how many things have happened in Fujian!

Xiong Wencan is a governor and a jinshi, and he belongs to the same class as the gentry, so he naturally empathizes with the gentry's thoughts.

However, I can't do anything about Li Yanzhi, Xiong Wencan smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he is the governor, but the pigtails are grabbed by others, where is the capital to shout with others?

"This, Ben Fu also received a letter from Li Zongbing, he said that he entered Quanzhou in order to arrest the rebellious, he has a brocade cloth waist card, and the rebels can be directly arrested and interrogated, without going through the judicial yamen, Ben Fu has no way to ......" Xiong Wencan spread his hands.

"Jin Yiwei, can Jin Yiwei be lawless and kill people indiscriminately? He killed a dignified person, and copied the entire Quanzhou gentry's house! ”

"What captures the rebels? Where is rebellion? Huang Zheng and others have made meritorious contributions to the ranks of people and are the pillars of the country, when did they become rebellious? Then Li Yanzhi clearly coveted the wealth of various families, and made a murderous and robbing move, Futai, can you let him go through this kind of lawless behavior? ”

"Lord Xiong, Li Yanzhi's behavior will inevitably cause public indignation, and millions of people in Fujian will be panicked. If it provokes civil unrest, I am afraid that the rebellion during the Jiajing period will be repeated! Some of the gentry said sharply.

Xiong Wencan's face changed greatly when he heard this!

During the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaded the coastal provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court took a lot of effort to calm it down after many years. Countless officials have been dismissed from office and even beheaded in different places because of the rebellion.

The Japanese rebellion is said to be the Japanese rebellion, but those who really understand the reasons know that the dominant person is not the Japanese invaders, but the gentry on the southeast coast!

There are more than 100,000, hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates, among which there are not many real Japanese pirates at all, and most of them are coastal rebels!

There is no need to delve into the reasons for the rebellion, but Xiong Wencan knows that although most of the gentry in the hall are only famous, their energy is very huge, and they all have a huge family behind them, and the power in the entire Fujian is intertwined. If it really angers them, it is easy to set off a civil uprising.

If there is chaos in Fujian, he, the governor of Fujian, will definitely not end well!

Li Yanzhi grabbed his pigtails, at most he dismissed himself, and he could still return to his hometown to be a carefree gentry. But if you anger the gentry in front of you, it is not as simple as dismissal and dismissal, it is very likely that the head will fall to the ground!

Xiong Wencan and his staff Jiang Shanfu looked at each other, and they both realized the seriousness of the matter.

"That," Xiong Wencan was about to speak, when suddenly a laugh rang out outside.

"Hahaha......" I saw Liu Mao, the inspector of the imperial history, laughing and walking in, and the gentry in the hall all glared at him angrily.

By now, everyone knows that this Liu Mao is with Li Yanzhi, and he was sent by the emperor to escort Li Yanzhi.

"Rebellion?"

Liu Mao walked into the lobby and stared at the gentry present, his face full of disdain.

"Do you think it's still the Jiajing period? Do you think Your Majesty is Lord Jiajing? ”

"Your Majesty is in northern Shaanxi, in Xuanfu, there are 100,000 Praetorian Guards, and there are hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in Liaodong. With just one holy decree, an army of 100,000 will go south, and what kind of rebellion can't be quelled? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, who gave you the courage to threaten the civil unrest, threaten Futai, and threaten the imperial court?"

"You are a gentry, and you are the king and hegemon in Fujian, but do you really think that this Fujian Tiangao Emperor is far away, and Your Majesty has no way to take it?"

The words came out of Liu Mao's mouth, stabbing at the gentry present like flying knives, making everyone's faces change greatly.

Only then did they realize that the current emperor was completely different from Emperor Jiajing, who would only hide in the deep palace and play power checks and balances.

In terms of imperial art, the young emperor may be far inferior to Emperor Jiajing, but in terms of domineering, it is far better than Jiajing. That's the emperor who dared to lead thousands of soldiers to personally conquer the civilian rebellion!

What's more, the young emperor has a powerful army in his hands, an army that only listens to the emperor's will and the civil officials can't interfere at all!

This thing is horrible!

The gentry present could fully imagine that if there was really a civil unrest in Fujian, the emperor would really order tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards to go south, and it was even possible to drive the expedition again, and then the whole Fujian would be bloodied, and I am afraid that no one present would be better!

They are gentry who have a huge influence in Fujian, but they do not have the confidence to resist the current emperor in Fujian Province, not to mention that the Fujian gentry are not only them, and those gentry who have no interests at sea may not be on their side!
