Under the first uprising of Zhang Shiwang and Huang Yong, almost all of the Southern Jiangxi rebels began to operate, and more than ten days after Changning was conquered, the mountain bandits went down the mountain to besiege Huichang County.

Because the magistrate had already prepared, the rebels did not take advantage, so they simply switched to the war, and began to plunder the place while the government was tired of coping.

The landlords' forts, which were easier to conquer, became the primary target of the rebels, and they burned, killed and looted, and gradually turned into tigers and wolves.

Before the uprising, they were absolute victims, all of whom were oppressed and exploited by the government and landlords.

But the peasant uprising was like this, once it began, it could not be contained, and if the leader was not determined, had no great ambition and no talent, then this limitation was quickly revealed.

In the entire Southern Jiangxi region, the "righteous army" began to leave no chickens and dogs behind, they killed people, set fire and robbed, thinking that they had betrayed the court, that is, their heads were pinned to their trouser belts, and they all wanted to enjoy it in time.

Therefore, in ancient times, a large number of rebels were essentially a great harm to the locality, and it was a good thing that they had a spirit of resistance, but when they were not effectively organized, they became a huge destructive force.

More than 20 days after the uprising, the Da Yuling passage was blocked, and the main passage connecting the north and the south was greatly affected, and commerce and trade were almost cut off.

Jiangxi's political secretary yamen was shaken, and hurriedly rushed to the imperial court, and asked the general army of Southern Jiangxi why they didn't recover the lost territory and meet the rebels.

The general army of Nanjiang was unmoved, he felt that the righteous army was too strong to move, and it was the best policy to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.

It was really the former general soldier Jin Ze, who took the children of Jiangxi to fight the Huang people, not only defeated the elite in a battle, but even he himself was in the hands of the Huang people.

The newly appointed chief soldier Cao Jun is no better than Jin Ze, who has made great achievements, not only does he not understand the situation of Southern Jiangxi, but he also can't subdue the generals of Southern Jiangxi.

Under the influence of the Tyrants, the scope of the uprising became even larger.

In another time and space, after Zhengde started his army in the second year, Zhang Shiwang once conquered Changning and Ruijin, but he was driven into the mountain by the official army before he could cover the heat.

Since then, he has always insisted on resisting the Ming Dynasty, and organized troops to continue to fight in the continuous mountains of Tai Mo Shan.

It was not until the seventh year of Zhengde that Zhou Nan, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, had to transfer troops from the three provinces to besiege it, and then the leaders of the righteous army, Zhang Shiwang and Huang Yong, were beheaded, and the rebellion finally gradually subsided.

Meaux, Red House.

Yan Zheng also received information from Nanchang Station about the Nanjiang uprising, and in fact, without waiting for a letter from Nanchang Station, there was news that merchants from Guangdong had brought about the blockage of trade routes.

This was also the first time he encountered an uprising that affected the province, and he had heard of several popular uprisings before, but the result was quickly suppressed.

He has always been more concerned about the uprising in the Ming Dynasty, and from the standpoint of Eastern Qin, what he fears most is the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This is due to his "reactionary" nature: first, as an industrialized party, he needs to maintain a market, and he needs to get a population, and he must be under a stable commercial network.

If the rebel army entered the coastal provinces, it would inevitably affect the foreign trade of Eastern Qin, and it would greatly disrupt the production activities of the Ming Dynasty, which was very unfavorable to Eastern Qin.

In the case of close economic exchanges, a major uprising in the Ming Dynasty may trigger an economic crisis in Eastern Qin.

Second, although the uprising was very destructive, the limited uprising could bring a large number of people to the Eastern Qin Dynasty in an instant.

The premise is that the Eastern Qin has the ability to rescue the people who have suffered from the war, and also ensure that this war will not threaten the fundamentals of commerce and trade.

This is one thing that Yan Zheng has been thinking about, he knows that since the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, uprisings have emerged in an endless stream, if it can be used well, it will only be good for Eastern Qin, and there will be no harm.

So when he saw the report sent by Nanchang Station, he couldn't help but smile, looked at Yumo and asked, "Yumo, how many uprisings have you heard of in the Ming Kingdom over the years?"

Yumo, who was proofreading the papers, raised his head and said, "I've heard about it several times, but the news in the building is not well-informed, and what can be passed on is basically a big trouble!" It seems that several times, they are all talking about the White Lotus Sect! ”

Yan Zheng nodded, the White Lotus Sect has always been haunted since the Yongle period, and there was a great uprising of the White Lotus Sect in the Qing Dynasty. Due to the particularity of this type of uprising, as soon as there is a sign of it, the imperial court will vigorously conquer and extinguish it.

He asked, "How many people are fleeing the war?"

"Many!" Yumo said categorically: "As soon as the war starts, there is basically no way to farm and work, and if you don't want to get involved, you can only flee!"

"Then what do you think we should do about this Nangan uprising?"

Yumo put down the pen in his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "If it affects Dongqin, we still have to take care of it!"

"Why?"

Yumo replied: "A war in a place is in turmoil, and lives are ruined, not only the bandit army, but also the official army!" In a few years, I don't know how many families want to be ruined! We in Eastern Qin, even the displaced people are willing to live well, and when we encounter this kind of people who are fleeing from the war, there is no reason to let it go! ”

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "But war and disaster are different, we want to go to the war zone to carry out activities, it is impossible to rely on silver to open the way!"

"Then if you can escape, we will take care of it, if you can't escape, you can only blame them for their bad fate!" Yumo said.

"Eh, what's the difference between you and ignoring them?" Yan Zheng leaned in and said in a low voice: "Our actions in Dongqin are all a good word, and everything is based on the interests of the country!" In the future, even if you want to do something, you have to pull it out of interests! Only in this way can the court accept your proposal! ”

"Take this Nangan uprising as an example, if you want to win over those people, you have to pay higher costs and risks, if you don't use the prerogatives of the monarch to suppress it, then the court will definitely have a disagreement. So at the beginning, you have to set up a name and set things on a sharp word! ”

"Leigh? But this ...... Profit is only the benefit of the population, right? Yumo wondered.

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "This benefit, not only our benefit, for example, the Guangdong businessmen, who are now cut off by the Southern Jiangxi Uprising, at this time, you can't avoid the Guangdong businessmen to consider this matter, you have to set up a name, persuade the government to contribute money, and then pull the Guangdong businessmen in, let them see the example of the national government, and they also have to contribute money and efforts to quell the war in Southern Jiangxi."

At that time, the money of the government will be returned, and the money of the merchants will be divided into three or seven, and in the end, the Guangdong businessmen will have to accept our kindness, and they will unite more closely around us! ”

Yumo nodded, and asked again, "What if they don't pay?"

"That's easy!" Yan Zheng leaned back on the chair contentistically: "We have the right to inland waterway shipping, and the status of a passage of the Ganjiang River is not unshakable, we can sit back and wait for the merchants in Zhejiang and Fujian to divide the market of Guangdong merchants one by one."

Yumo smiled: "In this way, one more day of tossing in Nangan, one more day of Guangdong businessmen, we are willing to meddle in the affairs of Nanjiang, and they will definitely fully cooperate." It's just that...... How do you come up with a name? ”

"It's easier! There is a Guangzhou Customs in Guangdong, and we are concerned about the war in Southern Jiangxi on the grounds that the interests of the customs have been damaged. At the same time, it is necessary to direct this matter to the fundamental policy of the state government to rein in the population! And to put it this way, the Southern Jiangxi bandit army is located at the junction of the three provinces, and if they are allowed to sit big, they will inevitably go south to Guangdong and east to Fujian! This is related to two trade ports, and everyone will be in a hurry! Yan Zheng said.

Yumo thought about it for a while, and really felt that in this way, there would be excuses for interfering in Nangan, all of which were correct to the point of national politics, and it was difficult for anyone to refute them directly.

"What the king said is that it's just our interests in Nangan, is it really worth going through so much trouble?" She asked rhetorically.

Yan Zheng said: "This is not just a matter of interests, this is a drill, the Ming Dynasty will not have less uprisings in the future, how to deal with it, is also a difficult problem left to us!" One of the advantages of the uprising is that it is easy to create anarchy, and in such a state, some of our work may be more convenient! So this uprising in Southern Jiangxi, no matter what, I have to send someone to interfere with one or two! ”

Yumo nodded, since two months ago, after she also found out that she was pregnant, she would often be guided by Yan Zheng, and this kind of heuristic dialogue would be staged almost every few days.
