Chapter 159: Crazy Chongzhen

Dongchang Mansion, Mansion.

The prefect Jiang Renxi, the commander of the Pingshan guard, Shao Kun, and the commander of the Dongchang guard, Pan Ding, gathered together, and everyone looked solemn.

"Commander Shao, Commander Pan, according to the report from some merchants, a few days ago, Linqingzhou was captured by the demons of the White Lotus Sect, and all the military attaches of Linqingwei were captured."

Jiang Renxi said with a solemn expression, "What should I do about this?"

Linqing Prefecture is a state city under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Mansion, Linqing Prefecture was captured by the thieves of the White Lotus Sect, and he also has the duty of losing his land.

"What does Governor Jiang mean?"

Hearing Jiang Renxi's words, Pan Ding frowned, although Jiang Renxi was asking them on the surface, but there was a faint meaning in his words to let them lead troops to quell the rebellion.

"Commander Pan, there are hundreds of thousands of stone grains in Linqingzhou, and they must be recaptured as soon as possible, otherwise the grains will be lost, and I can't afford to wait."

Seeing that Pan Ding's face was wrong, Jiang Renxi hurriedly said, for him, Linqingzhou has lost his position, but some thieves from the White Lotus Sect want to recapture Linqingzhou It is not a big difficulty, as long as it does not make too much trouble, the imperial court will not directly ask for the crime, even if it is not too serious.

The only thing he was worried about was that something happened to the grain, there were four or five hundred thousand stone grain in Linqingzhou, and if the grain was lost, not only would it be difficult for him to protect his official skin, but also his life.

"Governor Jiang, if you want to transfer troops to Linqing Prefecture to quell the rebellion, you need to command the envoy to give an order, or the governor of Caoyun to order, otherwise the official will not dare to move, and I hope the prefect will forgive me."

Hearing this, Pan Ding shook his head, although he is the Wei Commander of Dongchang Wei, but the Wei Commander only has the right to train troops, not the right to transfer troops, if you want to transfer troops, then you have to have an order from your superiors, if not, it is a capital crime to transfer troops without authorization.

Of course, this is the law at the beginning of the founding of the country, and now the governor's office of the five armies is furnished, and the commanders and envoys are almost the same, and the actual right to transfer troops is in the hands of the military department, which gives local officials room to operate, if he transfers troops to Linqingzhou to quell the rebellion, it is not impossible, as long as the communication between the top and bottom is good, and it is said that the thieves invaded the city, then it is reasonable for him to send troops to resist the thieves.

However, this matter is not his scope of responsibility, even if the court wants to investigate, it will not be able to investigate him, transfer troops without authorization, win the battle, the credit is not great, and he may even be held accountable, and the defeat is even worse, he will die in Linqingzhou, and he will be held accountable if he dies, affecting his family, and he will wade into troubled waters when his brain is in water.

"This official will let people go to Jinan Mansion and Caoyun Governor Yamen to report, and I hope that the two commanders can let the soldiers and horses under their command practice more."

Hearing Pan Ding's shirk, Jiang Renxi could only grit his teeth secretly, but he had no choice, since Xu Hongru and they made a big fuss, the imperial court asked the yamen everywhere to take strict precautions against the White Lotus Sect, and now a state city was captured by the White Lotus Sect, and he, the prefect, could not escape the blame.

"The prefect can rest assured, as soon as the order arrives, this official will definitely immediately lead troops to quell the rebellion."

Hearing this, Pan Ding arched his hand.

………

Jinan Mansion, Jinyi Wei Yamen.

In the attic of a thousand households, Su Hao meditated and practiced internal strength, and on the table next to him, the No. 1 and No. 2 natal paper figures looked at the official documents, which was a new usage of the natal paper man that he had only recently developed. ….

Since occupying Jinan Mansion, he has to deal with dozens of times more official duties every day than before, and just dealing with these things has taken up most of his time, so that he doesn't have much time to cultivate at all.

So later, he tried to let the two natal paper people read the official documents, and the two natal paper people had the same mind as him, plus the multi-purpose of the secret art of distraction, so now he basically doesn't have to waste time on official business, and the only flaw of this method is that it requires mana.

However, for him now, as long as it is not a big war, this slight mana consumption is already within his tolerance.

"Master, Tang Baihu and they have already transported the first batch of grain, about 60,000 stones."

At this time, Ding Zimo hurriedly came up and said, "In addition, the four cities of Lingxian, Pingyuan, Yucheng, and Qihe have also been taken."

"Let's put it all in the Dewang Mansion."

After thinking for a while, Su Hao said in a deep voice: "Send someone to take strict care of it, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, and collect all the carriages, mules, carts and the like in the city, and go to transport grain together, and strive to transport all the grain back."

If you want to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, in addition to the soldiers and horses, the most important thing is the food, there are countless springs in Jinan Mansion, do not be afraid of being cut off from water, as long as the food is guaranteed, let alone keep for a year, it is okay to keep for ten years, defending the city is always cheaper than attacking the city, the city wall of Jinan Mansion is tall, if you want to attack Jinan City, the imperial court needs at least several times the soldiers and horses.

"Arrange it for the sake of it."

Hearing this, Ding Zimo nodded in response.

"How's the conscription going?"

Su Hao then asked, everything else is a trivial matter, conscription is the most important thing, how long he can withstand the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court depends on how many soldiers and horses he can recruit.

"Xiao Er's side has set up recruiting points all over the city, and now more than 6,000 people have been recruited."

Ding Zimo said, "In addition, more than 2,000 guards of Jinan Wei have already taken refuge in us."

"Is there a guarantee of loyalty?"

Su Hao frowned and said, "I want them to reinforce Tang Xiangjin and them, and transport the remaining grain back as much as possible."

Although the news from Jinan Mansion is still being blocked, the news that Tang Xiangjin and they have taken Dezhou and Linqing Prefecture will definitely not be blocked for long, and now maybe the capital already knows about it.

It takes a lot of time for the imperial court to mobilize the army, and it does not take much time to mobilize the troops of three or two guards, at most a month, Tang Xiangjin and they will usher in the first batch of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress, and in a month's time, at most three or four hundred thousand stone grains will be transported.

If the first batch of soldiers and horses can be carried to encircle and suppress, then there will be more time to transport the remaining grain back.

"Loyalty is still guaranteed."

After thinking for a moment, "Their family files are here, and the conditions for our recruitment are so good, those soldiers will never want to go back to the old days."

To tell the truth, Su Hao's conscription conditions are too good, it is already a treatment that only a talented master can have, and even if the silver is counted, he can have two acres of land when he enlists in the army, and he can also be exempted from three people from forced labor, and the land tax of ten acres of land is a good thing that all people can't dream of. ….

"Then let Tian Ming lead his troops to Texas and try to resist the first wave of encirclement and suppression."

Su Hao nodded and said, "In addition, pay more attention to those wealthy clans, those people may not always be honest, don't let their clansmen approach the city gate, if there is anything wrong, suppress it immediately."

If you want to defend Jinan Mansion, in addition to the soldiers, you have to be careful of those wealthy families in the city, the strong fortresses have been broken from the inside, those wealthy families have been spoiled by the imperial court, and they have long been accustomed to being high and greedy.

If he wants to win over the hearts of the people, he must reduce taxes, forced labor, and donations, and if he wants to rebel, a large amount of money and grain is indispensable.

Now he has looted the Dewang Mansion and the Tong family and other families, and has obtained a lot of wealth, which can be supported in a short period of time, once the time has passed, he will sooner or later do something to those wealthy families, this truth, those wealthy families know it well.

The family inheritance of those people is more than a hundred years, and they have seen a lot of all kinds of rebellions of the White Lotus Sect, so they reject the White Lotus Sect from the bottom of their hearts, once the imperial court can't attack Jinan City for a long time, they will definitely find a way to win over the wealthy families in the city and let them open the city gate from the city.

As for the previous incident of slashing the prince of Dewang, sometimes, this kind of thing can be easily exposed, but it just depends on whether the court can let go of this face.

"The apprentice knows."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Ding Zimo nodded solemnly.

As a large number of people left the city, the changes that occurred in Jinan Mansion gradually spread, and for a while, the prefectures and counties around Jinan Mansion were instantly chaotic, and countless fast horses went towards the capital.

………

Cabinet.

Qian Longxi, Li Biao, and Zhou Daodeng were all red with red faces, looking at everything

With a smile and a smug look, compared with a few people, Shi Fenglai and a few people were expressionless, even a little gloomy.

At this time, an attendant hurriedly ran in with a notebook, almost colliding with Qian Longxi.

"Hurry, what a system!"

Glancing at the waiter, Qian Longxi scolded.

"Elder Ge, something is wrong!"

The reprimanded chamberlain hurriedly said: "King Heng sent an urgent report, Jinan Mansion Jinyi Wei Qianhu Su Hao rebelled, and now he has captured Jinan Mansion City, and King De's family has been slaughtered!"

"What did you say?"

Qian Longxi snatched the notebook from the chamberlain's hand, flipped through it, and the next moment, the whole person was stunned.

The movements of the two also attracted the attention of cabinet ministers such as Li Biao and Shi Fenglai, and everyone gathered around.

"Brother Qian, but what happened?"

Seeing Qian Longxi who was sluggish, Zhou Daodeng wondered, at their level, there are not many things that can make Qian Longxi look like this.

"The sky is falling!"

Hearing Zhou Daodeng's voice, Qian Longxi came back to his senses and handed the notebook in his hand to Zhou Daodeng with a bitter face.

The sky fell?

Hearing this, Zhou Daodeng's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and he immediately thought that Zhu Youzhen had an accident, but the next moment he overturned this speculation, they are now in the palace, if Zhu Youzhen really has an accident, it is impossible to hide it from them. ….

Zhou Daodeng opened the notebook, Li Biao and Shi Fenglai also hurriedly surrounded them, and when they saw that King De's family was all slaughtered, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The sky fell!

Although King Zheng was imprisoned and the son was also given death because of the Great Dan of Human Origin, it was a struggle within the court, and King Zheng's father and son also deserved it.

But this time is different, Su Hao rebelled and slaughtered the Dewang family, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time, the vassal king is the face of the royal family, the Dewang family was slaughtered, and the royal family and the court can be described as disgraced.

The most important thing is that they don't know how to tell Zhu Youzhen, this kind of thing happened just a few days after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't know how to be angry?

And Shi Fenglai and the others are pale, as a member of the eunuch party, they have also heard of the name of Su Hao's first vicious dog, and now Su Hao rebelled and slaughtered the Dewang family, if Zhu Youzhen is really investigated, they will all be implicated.

"Go and see Your Majesty."

After a moment of silence, Qian Longxi said bitterly.

Qianqing Palace.

Qian Longxi looked at Zhu Youzhen, whose hands were trembling and his expression was gloomy as ink, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the whole thing, he just entered the cabinet two days ago, and he encountered this kind of thing, it is really sad enough, if he doesn't handle it well, he may become the cabinet elder who has been in the cabinet for the shortest time, and become the laughing stock of the world.

"Su Hao, I won't Ling Chi you, punish your nine clans, what face will you have to see your ancestors and ancestors in the future!"

Zhu Youzhen roared angrily, directly overturned the table, his eyes were red, since his brother died, he has not been happy, on the day of his accession to the throne, the sky suddenly thundered with war drums, and the Qintian supervisor said that this is a sign of national chaos.

finally knocked Wei Zhongxian down, and wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but Wei Zhongxian disappeared, and he is still worried about it, after all, Wei Zhongxian has been in power for two or three years, who knows if Wei Zhongxian has left any behind.

I didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to find it, when Wei Zhongxian's vicious dog actually rebelled, and also slaughtered the Dewang family and occupied Jinan Mansion, although he and the German King Zhu Changjie have never met, and they can't talk about any feelings, but the German King is the face of the royal family after all, and the slaughter of the German Wang family is tantamount to pressing the royal family's face to the ground and rubbing his face to the ground.

"Shandong Governor Li Jingbai, Left Political Envoy Liang Yingze, Right Left Envoy Yue Junsheng.........

After the anger calmed down a little, Zhu Youzhen said coldly: "These mediocre officials have neglected their duties, and the criminal department has a department to punish them."

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Qian Longxi and the others' faces changed instantly, and they didn't expect that Li Jingbai and the others had already been martyred

, Zhu Youzhen was even ready to punish them.

After being silent for a moment, Qian Longxi stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty, Governor Li and others have already martyred their lives and are loyal to the country.

Although he knew that refuting Zhu Youzhen now would definitely make Zhu Youzhen dissatisfied, but he had to stand up for this, now Shi Fenglai and others are grasshoppers after the autumn, it is estimated that they will have to get out of the court in two days, and they will not stand up for thunder again, and now that he has the highest prestige in the cabinet, he just can't stand up.

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Youzhen's face became even more gloomy, but he also knew that what Qian Longxi said was not unreasonable, and it was really not very good to treat Li Jingbai for their crimes now, and it would only make people think that he was a faint king.

"This Su Hao's rebellion was by no means a spur of the moment, the previous governors of Shandong and the political envoys were unaware of it, raising tigers for trouble, and the criminal department strictly investigated!"

After taking a deep breath, Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth.

"Your Ministers obey."

Hearing the sound of Zhu Youzhen gritting his teeth, Qian Longxi and the others could only salute, and now Zhu Youzhen is furious, and it is okay to protect the name of Li Jingbai and the others, if they persuade again, Zhu Youzhen's anger will have to be borne by themselves.

After a pause, Zhu Youzhen still didn't understand his hatred, and then said: "Wang Daban, pass on the decree, and the Nanzhen Fusi will strictly investigate, but anyone who has anything to do with that Su Hao will be sent to the edict prison, and after it is investigated, the crime will be severely punished!"

"Slave and maid are going."

Hearing this, Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly replied.
