Chapter 350: The country is in a difficult situation, and the emperor is sick

Eight hundred miles of urgency, the situation in eastern Zhejiang soon spread to the Beijing Division, and along with Liu Daxia's plea.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was on the sickbed, was in a hurry after hearing this, and immediately fainted with abdominal pain.

Since last month, Emperor Hongji, who was in the prime of life, suddenly had abdominal pain.

After being cured, I still have two seizures in three days, and sometimes after a meal, I feel even more unbearable colic.

In just over a month, he already looked a little thin, and when he was hit again at this moment, everyone in and outside the palace was frightened.

finally woke up when Emperor Hongzhi woke up, and his first words were: "Quick, pass on to the cabinet ministers."

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were already waiting in the side hall, and as soon as they heard the edict, they hurriedly came to the sickbed.

Hongzhi coughed and said: "The situation in Zhejiang, why did it take a sharp turn, didn't Liu Daxia just make a break a few times ago, saying that he had already gathered troops and was ready to attack the enemy?"

Liu Jian said with a bitter face: "The ministers are also puzzled, why in an instant, it is the difference between attack and defense!" At present, Dinghai and Zhenhai are lost, the Qiantang Water Division is gone, and even Jin Ze, the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi, is also rumored to have been martyred, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang has obviously been corrupted! ”

Li Dongyang answered: "Wechen has read the reports about the people in the past few months, and I only think that the people have been prepared for a long time, and this time the strong attack on Dinghai and Zhenhai will be broken within one day!" This...... It's really hard to say what the reason is, Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, and the armament is relaxed, which should be one of the reasons!

But Lord Liu has been the governor of Zhejiang for more than half a year, and he has already reorganized the armament of the guard, and has gathered troops, in this case, my Ming army has been defeated again and again, I am afraid that it is the firearms of the people, and it is really as powerful as Lord Liu said in the chapter! ”

Xie Qian sighed softly, the strategy of soothing and using it was proposed by him, and it was best to talk less at this moment.

Emperor Hongzhi's face became extremely ugly, and he asked: "The people are so brave, what should be done with Zhedong?"

Liu Jian replied: "Your Majesty, you can only look at Governor Liu Daxia at the moment!" He also said in the recital that the urgent task at the moment is to thwart the offensive of the Gang as soon as possible! If the people are allowed to break like a bamboo, the entire Zhejiang is bound to be destroyed, and then it will be the hatred of the ages! ”

"Thwart the Tyrant Offensive?" Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while: "Is it possible to continue to throw silver and transfer troops to Zhejiang?"

Li Dongyang sighed and said, "Other than that, there is no other way!" If the people can conquer the city and conquer the city, this is not as good as the Tartars who only plunder, if the people attack the city and collude with the traitors, the southeast is also in danger! ”

"Then ......" Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian immediately understood, and said busily: "Can you change the use of soothing and use it together, so as to focus on soothing?" The people just want to open a port to each other, let's promise a port! ”

Li Dongyang arched his hand and said: "If it can be like this, it is excellent!" But the people have just spied on the reality of my Daming, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with! ”

Liu Jian proposed: "You might as well let Shang Jia go and find out what the king means!" Lord Liu is in Zhejiang, and he doesn't dare to show compromise at this moment, and I am in the court, so I can naturally plan a thing or two. ”

"That's an idea!" Li Dongyang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, at present, the people of the Ming Dynasty are powerful, and the Ming Dynasty is already a situation of the northern captives and the southern captives, and even the black people are far better than the northern captives!"

Today's plan, only one thing has to be sorted out, Jiangnan is an important place of finance and taxation, no matter what His Majesty's decision is, the old minister will wholeheartedly support it! I just want not to let the situation go down. ”

"The same goes for the ministers!" Liu Jian and Xie Qian bowed their hands together.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded weakly, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, if the eastern part of Zhejiang has been invincible, then the situation of the Ming Dynasty will be immediately corrupted.

As soon as the tax is cut off, the imperial court will immediately be unable to control the nine sides, and the local military generals and gate valves who have no food and salary will inevitably cause chaos.

Not to mention the resurgence of the displaced people, if there is no money and food to resettle, the people can be turned into bandits immediately!

As for the bandits in various places, there are more lice and no itching, and the Ming court has already been powerless.

Hongji only felt tired, and the abdominal pain rose faintly, and he waved his hand to let the courtiers stand down.

He didn't expect that after reigning for so many years, the southeast half of the wall gave him a big problem.

…………

In Zhenhai, Zhejiang, fifteen battalions and a large amount of supplies have been assembled.

After conquering Zhenhai County, the Huaxia Army posted notices to reassure the people, as well as the discipline regulations of the Huaxia Army, and also sent military law teams to patrol the streets every day.

When ordinary people encounter injustice, they can directly go to the mobile court to file a complaint, and after ascertaining the evidence, the judgment will be immediately pronounced.

The only thing that violated discipline these days was when a Ming soldier was shopping for something, and when he saw a former enemy, he smashed it with the butt of his gun in a fit of anger, and beat this old man violently in front of many domestic slaves.

The onlookers applauded, but the companions who accompanied him were so frightened that they hurriedly grabbed him.

In the end, the enemy did not dare to come to complain, and kept asking for the relationship, saying that he wanted to compensate the soldier.

After the military court found out the truth, it ruled that "violence disturbed the people" and punished the soldier with 40 lashes directly in front of the people of the county town.

also let the beaten gentleman watch from the sidelines, and directly scared him to pee.

After this incident, the people of the county town dispelled their fear of the Huaxia Army, and a large number of people came to sell them outside the barracks every day with vegetables and grains.

Many mothers-in-law also ran outside the barracks to find a job of pulping and washing.

The Huaxia Army bought and sold fairly, and the wages were sufficient, and in less than a few days, it was praised by the people.

……

Li Yong, the former squad leader of the 5th Battalion, has been promoted to company commander and serves in the newly expanded 18th Battalion.

Spanning two levels in one year, this is borrowing the east wind of army expansion, but to win from competitors, it also requires a certain amount of strength.

In the selection, he did not excel in physical fitness or shooting, but with his excellent literacy and numeracy skills, he quickly stood out.

In the company commander assessment, he relied on his ability to read pictures and excellent theoretical awareness, so that he defeated the rest of the competitors and successfully selected the company commander.

It's a pity that he hasn't gotten married yet, and although he has organized several "blind dates" for officers, he still hasn't found a satisfactory one.

He is not in a hurry, he is in the barracks every day, and his mind is full of studying, as well as training the recruits.

At this moment, he walked on the streets of Zhenhai County, only feeling full of freshness, and the people around him looked at them with smiles, feeling that although this group of people was strange, they were all good people.

He walked around with the guards, and soon stopped in front of a stall, these days the soldiers in the company are highly nervous, buy some dried lotus seeds and mung beans back, just enough to boil in porridge water.

"Fellow, how do you sell these mung beans and lotus seeds?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "Fifteen yuan a pound of mung beans, and lotus seeds cost thirty yuan a pound!"

Li Yong smiled bitterly, opened the "Eastern Zhejiang Price Reference Manual" he carried with him, looked at it, and then said: "Fellow, you have to think clearly about this price, our Huaxia Army is a fair deal, not a big wrong!"

The stall owner made a red face, and the people around him immediately mocked: "You Deng Shijiu, your business is too bad, so you are so deceitful."

"That's it, be careful of the old man, hang you for a thousand years!"

The stall owner hurriedly knelt down and said, "Adult, villain...... Villain ......"

"Alright, get up! We don't want to kneel down for this set, hurry up and make a fair offer, I want your mung beans and lotus seeds! Li Yong smiled kindly, this feeling is too good, better than bullying, as if it is superior.

The stall owner immediately weighed up, mung beans cost five cents a pound, and lotus seeds cost eight cents a pound!

Li Yong bought fifty catties of each and paid six hundred and fifty Dongqin copper coins.

The stall owner hurriedly retrieved fifty of them, saying that this was good money, and it was worth more than bad money, so it only cost 600 yuan.

After Li Yong took it back with a smile, he said to the stall owner: "Good life to do business, buy and sell fairly!"

"What the adults teach!" The stall owner blushed and said that it was only after Li Yong left that he sighed: "What a good person! I shouldn't have fooled him! ”

The surrounding vendors also nodded, and what they had seen and heard these days had opened their eyes.

There are such reasonable and well-behaved soldiers there, and these soldiers are thousands of times better than those Qiu Ba of the Ming army.

Li Yong returned to the station after inspecting the county seat like this, and after handing over the mung beans and lotus seeds to the cooking class, he instructed the man in charge of purchasing not to buy those few dishes all the time, but to let the soldiers change their tastes from time to time.

The guy in charge of the purchase looked helpless, and when he ran to Zhenhai, he realized that the Mocheng Supply and Marketing Cooperatives were the place with the most ingredients.

Li Yong said a few more words, and then he was satisfied with the saber and returned to his room.

"Company commander, battalion commander has an order, hold an operational meeting tonight, let our whole company be ready to march tomorrow!"

"So fast!"
