Guo Chong bowed his head in shame and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and there was no news leaking out before, so the truth of this matter was indeed not found out."

"But there is one thing, when I was out of Quzhou, I heard some people in my company mention it. It is said that a guy named Mr. Gu had contact with the stewards of several mines before the incident, and was able to enter several large mines with thousands of people.

And these iron mines were the main force of the first round of mine slave rebellion in western Zhejiang. Therefore, this mysterious Mr. Gu should have nothing to do with this riot! ”

Sun Ning and Xiao Qian's faces changed at the same time, it was this Mr. Gu again!

Although I don't know if this is a person or a group of people from the same generation, it is obvious that this Mr. Gu and the forces behind him are really going to completely disrupt the entire Jiangnan!

What kind of road is this guy, and what good is it for them to completely mess up Jiangnan?

Sun Ning silently guessed, and then listened to Guo Chong say again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Gu Yaohua?" ”

"Hmm." Sun Ning nodded.

This Gu Yaohua was a member of the extermination meeting that was used by the Xie family before, and he was captured alive after trying to set fire to Yunlin Temple. After that, Sun Ning didn't want to kill more, so he persuaded the monks of Yunlin Temple to intercede with the government, so as to save the lives of dozens of them and send them to the mines in western Zhejiang.

"He also played a role in the chaos in the western Zhejiang mine?" Xiao Qian also asked curiously.

Guo Chong smiled bitterly: "It's not just a little bit of use!" It can be said that this riot almost started because of him, and it was he who took the lead in killing two mine stewards and raised his arms to shout out his words, so that this chaos swept the entire western part of Zhejiang.

Because of this, he has been elected as one of the three leaders by the rebels at this time, and I heard that even the governor of Quzhou, as well as the patriarch of the Zhang family, were all cut off by his own hands!

"He is already determined to fight to the end with the wealthy families of the Jiangnan government, and he will not die."

After a pause, he hesitated again: "So after that, there were rumors that the mysterious Mr. Gu was Gu Yaohua's uncle, and they all came to save thousands of oppressed Jiangnan people!" ”

Sun Ning took a deep breath: "Savior?" They are really well prepared, even the spiritual leaders they should have, and the regulations for the army are all arranged. It seems that this rebellion in western Zhejiang is even more severe than what we see in front of us, and the consequences are bound to be more serious! ”

"So Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?" After Guo Chong truthfully reported everything he knew, he quickly looked at his own family, "I think that this may also be an opportunity for us, a good opportunity to take Jiangnan." ”

Sun Ning was silent, he had to admit that there was some truth in what the other party said. Because for him, it is obviously difficult to win the stable and united, monolithic Jiangnan, but if there are internal and external troubles, the Jiangnan that is full of smoke is a piece of fat at his fingertips.

As long as we seize this chaotic opportunity and send troops from the southwest, we dare not say that we will take a few important state capitals, but it will not be difficult.

Moreover, with the weakness of the local soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, as long as the southwest army is given a certain amount of rest and familiarization, he is sure that the entire Jiangnan will be defeated within half a year.

In this way, after having the wealth of Jiangnan, the biggest shortcoming in the southwest will also be filled, and if you want to use troops in other places, you will no longer have much to worry about.

But soon, this idea was vetoed by Sun Ning: "It is not a wise choice to take advantage of the chaos to send troops at this time." ”

Seeing that Guo Chong was slightly surprised, he quickly explained: "I'm not worried about winning or not fighting, but because what I want is a complete and rich Jiangnan, not a Jiangnan where the city is broken and the people are struggling to make a living."

"Have you ever thought about how much disaster this rebellion in western Zhejiang will cause if someone fuels the troubles, and how many people will be involved in military disasters and blood disasters? In this way, how many cities have been destroyed and how many innocent people have suffered, and how much damage will this do to Jiangnan?

"And under this premise, if we raise troops into Jiangnan again, I am afraid that the damage and casualties caused will only be greater. At that time, Jiangnan will no longer be the richest place in the world, and it will no longer be possible to provide us with sufficient logistical support. There will only be endless hatred and a rear that will never be at peace!

"This is not the Jiangnan I want at all."

Only then did Guo Chong come to his senses and said sincerely: "Your Majesty Shengming, it was the ministers who were in a hurry and thought things wrong!" ”

"You also care about state affairs, and it's not wrong." Sun Ning said, and said with a straight face, "In addition, there is another point, which you obviously ignored. Jiangnan is really going to be completely chaotic, and the real benefit cannot be us, who are still far away in the southwest, but the two Huai that are connected to it.

"If you really want to talk about the speed of sending troops, who can compare to the two Huai soldiers and horses who can go down the river?"

Guo Chong was shocked again, and his expression was full of strangeness, because the current Lianghuai was already in the hands of his father Guo Yan.

And Sun Ning also thought of something at this time: "You say, is this chaos in western Zhejiang and the two Huai people obstructing it?" ”

Because from the analysis of who benefits the most and who is the biggest suspect, if Jiangnan is really in a mess, it will be to give Guo Yan and the relevant forces of the Zonghenghui who have occupied the two Huai to give opportunities.

As long as the soldiers and horses of the Gu family in Jinling are really transferred to the south due to the Quzhou Rebellion and the defense of the north is relaxed, then the Guo family's army can take advantage of the gap and take the south of the Yangtze River!

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of several people in the room were more solemn than before, which was obviously not the result they hoped to see.

Jiangnan is not only a buffer zone in Sun Ning's eyes, but also a logistical support that he must obtain. Once it really falls into the hands of the enemy, the southwest will be in danger, and at least it will be impossible to have the confidence to go east.

At this moment, the chaos in Quzhou and western Zhejiang was no longer Jiangnan's own affair, but became the affair of the imperial court.

"We have to think of going to western Zhejiang and quell this riot as soon as possible!" In the end, Sun Ning came up with such a decision!

Everyone else also nodded in agreement, compared with the current chaos in western Zhejiang, and the chaos that may be brought about by the entire Jiangnan, the truth of the case of Hanshan Temple, and the truth of the case of the monk of Yunlin Temple who was intercepted and killed on the way have become worthless.

And at this moment, Sun Ning suddenly thought of what the Qian family's steward and the shopkeeper of Guangtong Silver said before he died two days ago.

He said it was already too late.

Before, Sun Ning had always thought that he was referring to the fact that he had taken poison, so it was impossible for Sun Ning to ask the truth from his mouth.

But now it seems that his sentence is late, could it be that he refers to the imminent outbreak of the mine rebellion in western Zhejiang?

If this is the case, the rebellion in western Zhejiang will not be able to let it go and stay out of it!

At this time, Sun Ning had already made a decision to go west as soon as possible to quell the riot!
