Pu Ma did not hide in the cabin, looking back from time to time, his heart was full of fear and curiosity.

This time, there were dozens of sea vessels heading south along the monsoon. Li Bao's fleet was not only caught in the middle of it, but also divided many soldiers to eat and sleep with the owners of the merchant ships.

In Pu Mabe's bedroom, there were twelve people.

This merchant from the Seljuk Empire was very curious about the equipment of the Ming soldiers.

Needless to say, the armor and helmets were mainly those weapons, and he was eager to touch the wolf milling and boring rake.

Unfortunately, the language does not make sense.

Pu Mabe couldn't go in and out of the cabin at will, and when he was bored, he could only pick up a bamboo pen and write a diary: "I met the general of the Qin State in Hangzhou, and he was extremely tall, and his height was at least three wrist feet or more......

"His beard is not long, but it is very majestic and gives a strong sense of oppression. He ordered all the merchant ships to set out in a centralized manner, and hid his soldiers on board to go to a city called Fuzhou further south......"

"This general was appointed by the Emperor of Qin - Ming to capture the capital of Qin - Emperor Song, and Emperor Song's army was vulnerable in front of him......"

"There were twelve Qin-Ming soldiers who were placed in my cabin, and I was put under house arrest and surveillance, and promised to be free when I arrived in Fuzhou. The soldiers were extremely disciplined, they slept in three shifts, they didn't drink or gamble along the way, and they didn't blackmail me......"

"They are all wearing armor and do not take it off even when they sleep, so they are ready to deal with the possibility of a battle......

"The chief of the twelve, with spears, swords, and bows. There are two shield bearers, one with a large shield and one with a small shield, and they are armed with javelins. There were also four pikemen, and four soldiers who didn't know what their weapons were. ”

"The last one was supposed to be a servant, who wore only a piece of leather armor and a sword and a crossbow at his waist. Whatever trivial things are done, this soldier is doing them. But the other soldiers did not beat and scolded him, did not treat him as a slave, and they seemed to have a good relationship......"

"My interpreter was placed in another cabin, and I couldn't communicate with the soldiers. I think I should learn the language of the Qin State, which will be more convenient for future business......"

"It's winter, the wind direction and currents are suitable, and storms are rare, so we're sailing at full speed every day. At this rate, we will soon be able to reach Fuzhou, and I am afraid that fierce battles will break out at that time...... Allah willing, I hope that my ship and cargo will not be damaged! ”

……

Fuzhou.

Tong Guan, who was dressed in military uniform, said to Mao Kui, the Fujian transit envoy: "The new emperor's enthronement ceremony, please ask Mao Gong." “

Mao Kui wanted to refuse, but glanced at the saber on Tong Guan's waist, and could only bite the bullet and say: "The Holy Son of Heaven ascends to the Extreme Imperial Universe, and he should be selected on the auspicious day of the zodiac." Old and talented, a few tricks ......"

"No need, time is pressing, in three days." Tong Guan interrupted directly, not letting this guy drag on time.

Mao Kui wanted to cry without tears, everyone knew that the Great Song Dynasty was over, but he was forced to support the clan. The strong desire to survive gave him some courage: "Three days is too rushed, many things cannot be prepared, and even fasting and bathing are not enough days, and the old man thinks that it should be limited to one month." ”

Tong Guan held the hilt of the knife: "Give you four days, the first three days to bathe and fast, prepare many things, and ascend the throne on the fourth day." ”

"Yes......" Mao Kui agreed with difficulty.

Tong Guan finished talking and left, he still had a lot of things to do.

Mao Kui sat slumped in his chair, thinking that he would be beheaded by Emperor Zhu, he regretted why he didn't resign earlier?

To be honest, this old man has to thank Zhu Ming, because in another time and space, he has been killed by the Fujian Mutiny at this moment.

Mao Kui is a native of Guangxi, good at diction, general skills, geography, and good at cultivating immortals. He also likes to travel very much, and the large and small cave attractions in Sanya, Hainan Province, are the first to be explored and developed.

No, how can this kind of black cauldron be carried by yourself?

Mao Kui got up and walked outside, but as soon as he went out, he was stopped by the soldiers left behind by Tong Guan.

"Don't get out of the way quickly, I'm going to find someone to discuss the preparations for the ceremony!" Mao Kui scolded.

The soldier stepped out of the way and followed him.

Mao Kui took the car to a house in the city, handed over a prayer note and said, "I have something important to look for your master." ”

Menzi replied: "My father-in-law is seriously ill, and he really can't see guests. ”

Mao Kui said: "I am here to visit the patient. ”

Menzi bowed and said, "My father-in-law is seriously ill, and it is inconvenient to see guests. ”

"I'm here to visit!" Mao Kui slammed the door open.

Menzi wanted to stop it, but was blocked by Tong Guan's soldiers, and Mao Kui took the opportunity to rush inside.

In the garden of the inner house, an old man was carrying a pot to water the flowers, and when he heard the noise, he shook his head helplessly, turned to Mao Kui, who was walking quickly, and said, "Your Excellency, why do you bother? ”

Mao Kui held the old man's hands and said with a crying voice: "Please also ask Brother Ji Xi to save me!" ”

The old man's name is Zhao Wei, the deputy envoy of Fujian Transport, and the nephew of Zhao Luan, the "Iron Mask Imperial History".

The two old men stared at each other in the garden, knowing in their hearts what was going on, and they couldn't elaborate because of the presence of Tong Guan's soldiers.

In the end, it was Zhao Wei who spoke: "Or, how many more people to discuss?" ”

"Definitely looking for them!" Mao Kui nodded and said.

Soon, Fujian Luyun sentenced Cao Zai and sentenced Xie Ruyi to be found out like his own mother who died.

Supporting the establishment of the clan to ascend the throne, Mao Kui couldn't prepare alone, and it was normal to call several senior members.

Xie Ruyi didn't care if Tong Guan's soldiers could hear it, and broke the jar and said: "Just fool around, just build an altar, the new monarch will succeed to the throne." ”

Mao Kui cried with a sad face: "This is not a matter of the altar, a few of us are involved in this matter, and we will inevitably be ...... in the future"

These people were reluctant to come forward to carry out the enthronement ceremony, and the soldiers in Fuzhou City did not want to do it.

Several mid-level officers were secretly discussing in the city.

Ye Nong said angrily: "Second Brother Zhang, that dog entered Tong Guan, and dragged us to suppress the thief. The thieves went into the mountains and couldn't finish suppressing them, so they said that we were not good at fighting, and we made meritorious contributions but were all snatched away by the Shengjie army. More than 10,000 Fujian troops went out with him, and only more than 8,000 died. How can there be such a truth in the world? ”

"That's it," Lu Lide said, "I heard that the new Ming Dynasty has captured Liangzhejiang, so let's just turn it back!" ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "The Shengjie army is in Fuzhou, and the armor is very good, where can we fight?" To rebel now is to seek death, and we have to wait for the new Chaotian soldiers to kill. ”

Ye Nong said angrily: "In many brothers' homes, they can't open the pot anymore, and if they don't send food, their wives and children will all starve to death!" ”

"Think again, think again." Zhang Yuan said to himself.

In another time and space, the previous civil officials, with these Fujian soldiers, went all the way north to garrison the Yellow River crossing.

When he returned home after defeat, not to mention the bereavement pension and reward, he did not even pay the "armor removal fee".

When they arrived in Jianzhou, they were not even enough food and grass, so the soldiers hurried hungry.

As a result, Zhang Yuan led the Xiang army to mutiny, killed the transport envoy Mao Kui, Yun Ju Cao Zai, and Jianzhou Taishou Zhang Qin, robbed grain on the spot and entrenched in Zhou City, and repelled the army sent by the imperial court many times.

Xie Ruyi temporarily served as the transportation judge and recruited these rebels to surrender.

However, the imperial court ordered Xie Ruyi to kill the rebels and take the remaining soldiers to the north to fight against Jin.

The soldiers were furious, and under the leadership of Ye Nong, they mutinied again, and fought all the way back to Fuzhou from Jianzhou, and were finally suppressed by Zhang Jun's troops.

The current situation is similar: Fujian has many mountains and little land, and after more than half a year of suppressing bandits, there is not much military food left.

Tong Guan can scavenge for money, but he can't make food.

The only military rations must be given priority to the Shengjie army, and the rest of the troops can barely starve to death.

In Tong Guan's eyes, the military rations he issued would not starve the soldiers to death, but there were still officials withholding them on the way, and the soldiers had to support their families.

Even if Li Bao doesn't come to attack, the Fuzhou Xiang Army will mutini sooner or later!

In order to collect grain, Tong Guan has issued a death order and forced the state and county officials to hand over the grain.

The officials took advantage of the opportunity to exploit it, and even the temples had to give food, not to mention the poor people.

It's still an accident in Jianzhou!

The smuggler Fan Jizhong and Fan Ru were uncles and nephews, and gathered hundreds of salt dealers under their command to rush into the homes of large families in Huiyuantong, Jianzhou.

After killing the big landlord, Fan Jizhong raised his head and shouted: "The court has no way, and the officials and the people are in accordance with the will of heaven." Now that the Ming Dynasty has attacked Liangzhejiang, the faint monarch is dead, but there are still traitors in Fujian. Who is Tong Guan? One of the six thieves. After he finished the scourge in the north, he came to Fujian to knock on the bones and suck the marrow. What I am holding in my hand is the book "Seeking the Sole Husband Zhao Jiyu" written by the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and I will read it to you in a colloquial ......"

Fan Jizhong belongs to the bankrupt small landlord and has read poetry and books.

He was too lazy to write the essay himself, so he directly used Zhu Ming's essay.

Fan Ruwei stood next to him with a Pu knife in his hand, he was nearly 1.8 meters tall, and he was especially strong in Fujian.

This person made a lot of trouble in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was known to have 500,000 troops at his peak. In addition, the landlords' land was confiscated and distributed to the peasants, and in areas where the control was weak, the landlords were forced to pay rents, so the morale of the troops under his command was high.

When Han Shizhong led his troops to suppress it, most of the 30,000 rebel troops led by Fan Ruwei fought to the death, and his general Fan Zhong continued to fight with the remnants.

"Fathers, brothers, follow me to kill the landlord!"

After reading Zhu Ming's essay, Fan Jizhong and Fan Ru went in two ways for the soldiers.

They each went to attack the nearby villages, killed the landlords to divide the grain and fields, and even ran to attack the temple.

Fujian is full of temples, and one-third of the men from poor families are forced to become monks. In fact, he works in a temple, some farming, some doing business, and some doing thugs.

Countless peasants received food and land and joined the ranks of Fan's uncles and nephews.

A large number of low-level monks and Taoist priests also rebelled together with the layman.

When they went to attack Jianzhou City, the rebel army had reached tens of thousands, and they were all soldiers who had just been allocated land!

The big landlords around Jianzhou City were almost slaughtered by them.

A fast horse galloped to Fuzhou, and the hand-delivered soldier in charge of delivering the message knelt in front of Tong Guan: "There are Fan thieves in Jianzhou who are in rebellion, and they have captured Jianzhou City, claiming to have 100,000 soldiers!" ”

Tong Guan's expression was blank, and he said weakly: "I know." ”
