Zhu Yong couldn't help but be depressed when he heard it.

But Zhang Anshi immediately comforted him and said: "There are many opportunities in the future, so why fight for the length of the moment." ”

Zhu Yong had no choice but to say: "Big brother, I understand!" Ay...... I don't know what happened to the fourth brother now, he is thousands of miles away, and there is no news, when he was last year, there was a fleet back, but he refused to repair a letter. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Qiu Song is like this, if he is willing to repair a letter back, I feel strange, if there is really a letter about him over there, it must be that he was kidnapped in Europe, and it was the gangsters who forced him to write a letter asking for ransom." ”

Zhu Yong pondered for a moment, and actually felt reasonable, and immediately smiled, and said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, or the eldest brother knows the fourth brother best!" ”

But he still sighed after all, and couldn't help but feel regretful.

……

The next day, a decree came out, and the king of Song and the scholar Zhang Anshi restrained the armies to fight the thieves.

Zhang Anshi received the will, but the atmosphere in the court inevitably became subtle.

Obviously, although the rebellion was unexpected, it can also be called expected.

First dig up the roots of others, and then punish them, in the eyes of many, this is their own and they have to be reversed.

For a group of ministers led by Yang Rong, they thought that this was not a good time to quell the rebellion, and they hoped to forbear it for the time being, of course, for the sake of the imperial court.

But there are also a large number of people, but they are quite hopeful about this, they hope that the rebels will make as much trouble as possible, and it is better for the court to make compromises, or even ...... Carry out appeasement.

And once this happens, then the New Deal can come to an abrupt end.

The rebellion of the political envoys in Fujian and Guangxi is actually just the beginning, and the people who are ready to move in various places have already sharpened their knives.

They have no way to retreat, the reason why they dare not rebel is just out of fear, and now, everyone is looking at Fujian and Guangxi, is hoping that this rebellion is better to succeed as much as possible, as long as they can hold on, then ...... I can also take this opportunity to simply rebel.

For a moment, people were panicked.

All kinds of gossip began to spread in the capital.

I don't know who is building momentum in the dark, so that all kinds of bad news are everywhere.

Some say that the rebels in Fujian have occupied Fuzhou, some say that the scale has reached 100,000, and some say that some people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi have rebelled.

What's more, it was said that the rebels had left Fujian and other places, and Bingfeng went all the way to the north and came to Nanjing.

This kind of news is so loud that many people may not believe it, but they can hear a lot, and they can't help but start to panic.

Of course, not all people are panicked, at least in many university halls, some people have begun to sharpen their knives.

In addition, there are also people in the Jinyi Guard and the Model Camp who yearn for something.

This time, His Royal Highness the King of Song was ordered to quell the rebellion, and he must gather people, but he didn't know if he could be selected.

Over the years, with the spread of the new policy, many people have followed His Royal Highness King Song to make contributions, and in an instant, their fate has changed. I don't know how many times such a miracle has happened, and naturally, there are countless younger generations who are eager to follow suit.

It's just that in the past few years, the world has been generally peaceful, and there has been almost no war, which can't help but teach people a little disappointed, but now...... The time has come.

It's just that...... Zhang Anshi, the king of the Song Dynasty, although he received the will, did not immediately order the people and horses to set off, he was still calm and relaxed, and the old god was there.

Someone went to the Song Palace, and the answer they got was just that they were preparing, preparing.

…………

"Your Majesty......"

Yisha tiptoed and poured tea in front of Zhu Di.

In the literary building, Zhu Di was sitting upright, he dropped a note, took the teacup casually, and took a sip.

Zhu Di seemed to have thought of something at this time, so he said: "Where is the model camp, what is the movement?" ”

"There's been no movement yet." Yizha knew Zhu Di, and immediately understood what Zhu Di wanted to know most, so he said: "Your Majesty, King Song is still in the palace these days." ”

"Oh." Zhu Di just responded lightly, but didn't squeak again.

He also said: "It's the political envoy of Guangdong...... I heard that there is some unevenness, this is reported by Jinyiwei. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What, there are still people who want to rebel?" ”

Yisha looked at Zhu Di's face before he said, "I heard that someone forged weapons without permission......"

Sure enough, Zhu Di's face was a little colder, and he said in a deep voice: "Why don't you take people?" ”

Yisha hurriedly said: "The local government ...... Actually...... Conceal it and don't report it, if it weren't for someone on Jinyiwei's side to find out, I'm afraid that it will ...... The court is still in the dark, Your Majesty ...... The slave maid thinks that there are also people there who are preparing to make trouble, is it ......?"

Zhu Di took a breath, only thought for a moment, and said: "Let Zhang Qing deal with it, I don't doubt the use of people, and don't use suspicious people." ”

He listened and nodded.

However, although he heard Zhu Di say this, he also knew that His Majesty was actually very anxious at the moment, after all, ...... The rebellion has begun, and now there are only two rebellions, but if the imperial court does not immediately thunder and quickly quell the rebellion, then ...... In every prefecture and county in the world, there will be countless people who will follow suit.

And once this happens, there will be rebellion everywhere, and for the imperial court, there will really be a big problem, even if it takes a lot of effort to quell the rebellion, but this loss is unbearable.

You must know that a rebellion that swept the world was enough to destroy the achievements of decades of peace in the Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty was looking forward to Zhang Anshi's decisive attack, but he didn't expect that in such a tight time, Zhang Anshi was still in the capital and refused to leave, and even heard that he didn't even have enough manpower, can this not teach His Majesty to be anxious?

If it weren't for Zhang Anshi, who won Zhu Di's trust, I am afraid that in this world, who would dare to do this, Zhu Di would also slaughter him and feed it to the dogs.

Delaying the military plane is a big deal.

Zhu Di sighed at this time and said: "Actually, I sometimes think, these thieves, it's better to do the opposite, I have been fighting for half my life, and I am not afraid of battle, but the only thing I am afraid of is those enemies in the dark......"

Yisha smiled reluctantly: "It's good to be the opposite, but once there is a military disaster, I'm afraid of ......."

Before he could say anything, Zhu Di nodded and said: "This is also what I am worried about, no matter what, the world is mine, and if I am damaged, it is also me who is distressed." ”

Zhu Di said, then squinted his eyes slightly and looked somewhere, muttering silently, with a thoughtful expression.

……

At this time, in the Song Palace, there were letters one after another, which were quickly sent.

In fact, Zhang Anshi is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, on the surface, it seems that he has done nothing, but on the inside, he is very anxious every day, always waiting for news to come.

For many days, he did not sleep well.

At the moment, there are no visitors to this Song Palace, but Zhang Anshi knows that in fact, the whole capital is now looking at him, the King of Song.

As for the rumors outside, he has also heard a lot about it, and he ...... He could only show indifference.

In fact, it makes no sense for you to just preach and debate.

What makes people shut up is always the war report.

As long as the battle report does not come one day, then ...... After saying it, there are always people who have countless truths and teach you to be speechless.

"Your Highness, the Post Office has sent an official letter."

Zhang San came in a hurry and delivered an official document to Zhang Anshi's hands.

Zhang Anshi took it, took a closer look, his face changed slightly, and then, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Success or failure is here." ”

…………

Fujian Political Envoy Division.

Ping Tan Yi.

The sudden military disaster instantly made the people here panic.

Because the post station was the target of the rebels, when they learned the news, the post man asked everyone to take refuge temporarily.

Soon after, the station was occupied by thieves, and an old post man was seized by the rebels and killed in the head.

At this time, Deng Da and Xia Xuan found a farmhouse and hid for a few days, but fortunately, the farmer was real, and he did not confess to the two, but only inquired about the news from outside, which inevitably made the two more worried.

The rebels have grown in strength and are now numbered at 30,000, occupying many prefectures and counties, and are rumored to be besieging Fuzhou.

And in Fuzhou City, there seem to be many people secretly communicating with the rebels, and even ...... There are also officers and soldiers who have been guarded all the way, and they have also been surrendered.

At this time, the rebels did not occupy Pingtan, and after sacking it, they waved their troops north, after all, this place is neither a thoroughfare, nor a military town, and it is worthless.

Deng Da was okay, he was observing the current situation while trying his best to contact Yicheng.

It seems that at this time, he was worried about the safety of the post office in Fuzhou, so he ...... Try your best to find out the news of Fuzhou.

Xia Xuan was different, he had never been so depressed.

Not long after adapting to this, although he didn't think that there might be anything great to be done in this station, but slowly, he became familiar with this land and the people here, but who knew that overnight, everything would come to naught.

On the road in the countryside, there are even many ownerless dry bones, and almost all Zhuangzi have begun to enter a state of self-preservation, some people go to the rebels, and some people go around to inquire for information about their relatives.

Xia Xuan had an indescribable worry, in fact, they didn't have a chance to escape from this place.

This place is near the sea, and the land route is full of rebels, but if you sail, you may not be able to cross the range of the rebels and go directly north.

What's more, there are many people here who are willing to provide such help.

It's just that......

When he was about to leave, Dunda was silent.

Xia Xuan asked Deng Dadao, "Sir...... Don't want to go? ”

Deng Da asked him rhetorically, "Do you want to leave?" ”

Xia Xuan thought about it and shook her head.

Deng Dadao: "Why? ”

Xia Xuan only pondered for a moment, and said sincerely: "In my life, I have been in a mess, and I have only done one serious thing in this life, and I am here to die." Hard work is hard work, and fatigue is tired, but after a long time, I feel ...... It's good for a man to be alive and alive like this. Besides, I already have a few disciples here, and they are all looking forward to studying, and ...... And the grandma in Shangjiaoli, she is old, and her ears are back, all year round, I look forward to my son who is far away from the land to repair his book and come back, every time I appear outside the village, she gets news, no matter where the person is, even if she is bound to the feet, she will come and ask if there is a letter from her, I ...... I ......"

Xia Xuan said and lowered his head.

Deng Da smiled and said, "It's strange to say, it's clear that it's just sending letters, doing errands, how can it suddenly seem to have become the hope of many people......

Xia Xuan said: "No matter what, I don't want to leave now, I want to ...... Wait a little longer. ”

Dunda pursed her lips in silence.

Two days later, the post sent someone with a letter.

There were so many letters that the two of them had handled, but for the first time, this one was for them.

The two of them immediately lifted their spirits, no matter what, at least...... The boss finally got in touch with them.

After reading the letter, the two of them read it carefully, and then ......... They all gasped in unison.

After looking at each other, Deng Da said, "What do you think?" ”

Xia Xuan was a little dispossessed for a while, so he said, "I don't know, I'm a little scared in my heart." ”

Deng Da thought for a while and said: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, what is there to be afraid of this edict of His Royal Highness the King of Song?" Might as well...... Get your feet wet. ”

Xia Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Listen to Mr. Deng." ”

In the evening of that day, a glow on the horizon slowly fell into the night.

The place that leans against the coast.

The terrifying waves crashed against the tidal flats, and the roaring waters resounded endlessly.

Faintly, there was a light in the distance.

The light was getting closer.

Immediately, dozens of boats washed up on the beach, and dozens of men landed on the shore with fish baskets on their backs.

This is the Tan people.

Because of the sudden chaos, the Tan people no longer dare to help the old and the young to land and sell fish, most of them are a large group of men go ashore together, and most of the time, choose at dusk, once they encounter an accident, they can also escape by night.

They are usually bullied and have already developed many ways to protect themselves.

After the person carrying the fish basket landed on the shore, suddenly, someone called out: "Is Wu Er here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many men were immediately frightened and looked around.

It wasn't until they saw that it was Deng Da and Xia Xuan who were coming, and many people breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Tan people are wary of anyone, even those with whom they trade in fish. Not trusting anyone is their philosophy of life, and those who don't believe in these things are long dead.

But for Deng Da and Xia Xuan, they have an indescribable trust.

Immediately, a man stepped forward quickly and said in a low voice: "Two gentlemen, why is this time ...... Come, don't you know that it's not peaceful now......"

The man's voice was reproachful.

This person is none other than Wu Er.

Deng Da laughed disapprenosingly and said, "I'm here to deliver you a letter." ”

Wu Er was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said: "The new issue of Di Bao? ”

"It's indeed a newspaper, but it's a newspaper, it's different." Deng Da looked at Wu Er, and then looked at the other men who came around.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you clear about the current situation? ”

"No one knows about the chaos."

Deng Da glanced at Wu Er deeply, and said, "Do you know why there is such a rebellion?" ”

"This ......" Wu Er didn't know how to answer for a while.

He really couldn't answer.

Deng Da said: "You...... After reading the Di newspaper for so many days, don't you know? ”

"Please also ask the gentleman to see me."

Deng Dadao: "Let me ask you, how much do you know about the new deal in the newspaper?" ”

Wu Er said without hesitation: "I naturally know that it is necessary to build a railway, build a school, and distribute the land to the people, as well as ......."

The men whispered one by one, of course, the new deal in the newspaper was obviously too far away from them, as if it was ...... It's like that's happening in another world.

Deng Dadao: "Wu Er, you are clear, what is the situation of Zhili now?" ”

"I know this......"

Deng Da looked at Wu Er seriously and said, "Then let me ask you, why did they rebel?" ”

"This ......"

Seeing Wu Er's hesitant look, Deng Dadao: "On this new policy, the imperial court wants to implement the new policy in Fujian, but many corrupt officials and local gentry are very dissatisfied, which is why this is the problem." ”

When Wu Er heard this, he immediately began to think of the content of the previous newspapers, and when he thought of what he had seen and heard in these days, he frowned.

At first, when he saw what happened in Zhili in the Di newspaper, he was envious in his heart.

This kind of envy is by no means envy in the ordinary sense, because to him, a Tan people, he is not even as good as an ordinary tenant.

Deng Dadao: "I really didn't expect that the Fujian Political Envoy was just about to prepare to promote the new policy, but now, ...... But because of this, such a thing that benefits the country and the people is about to die. ”

A trace of anger flashed in Wu Er's eyes, this anger was obviously aimed at some people, he said with a stiff face: "Is there no way to take them?" ”

Deng Da said: "They coerced many people, and the officials and soldiers could not immediately enter and suppress them for a while, and these traitors relied on this to dare to make trouble." ”

The more they listened, the more confused they became.

In a sense, the four words of ignorance of the common people are not groundless.

These people who have been fishing all their lives, who have never read or written, and who have no one to impart their knowledge, are, in a sense, no different from the walking dead.

When they heard Deng Da and Wu Er's words, they only felt confused.

Some people even became anxious, worried that if they continued to delay, they would not be able to sell today's fish.

Wu Er bowed his head and was silent.

There was resentment in his heart.

This kind of resentment, in fact, does not need Dunda to be for him, and it has already accumulated.

Wu Erken studied and worked hard.

But once you start reading and writing, and start reading newspapers to understand the world, the fire in your heart cannot be extinguished.

A person who can't read big words can live in a mess and run around just for two meals a day.

But a person who has read a book can't be reconciled, and he has been fishing for a living all his life, living like this.

After a pause, Wu Er raised his head suddenly, looked at Deng Da with a strange look, and said, "Sir, didn't you say that you want to send me something?" Where is the stuff? ”
