The royal team had five days to reach Changsha County, and after Changsha County, they could reach the end of the overland route, and they could take a boat to Jiankang, which was half the time compared to the land route.

It's just that some things that are planned are often unexpected.

Before Xia Jing arrived in Changsha County, she received an urgent message of 800 miles from Jiankang.

The rebels fled from Jiankang to the north, and during this time, they held many officials and clansmen, including Prince Ning.

When Prince Ning moved south in the imperial court, he was accidentally injured by thieves on the way, and he has been recuperating in the mansion since he arrived in Jiankang.

This time being held hostage by the rebels was something that no one expected.

Compared to the clan that was beheaded by the rebels, it was very lucky that the clan was taken away like him, at least they didn't die because of the destruction of Jiankang City.

"Mother, what did the letter father say?"

Xia Jing handed the letter to him, "Look for yourself, it's eventful, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow, your father may still be secretly happy that a throne fell from the sky and smashed him, but he didn't want to think that it would be long before the north gave him a thunderbolt on a sunny day, I don't know if he will be so angry that he vomits blood!" ”

Li Chengmu said while unfolding the letter: "No matter what happens, I believe that my father can withstand the blow, he will not vomit blood, and my mother does not have to worry about my father." ”

The corners of Xia Jing's mouth twitched slightly, when did she worry about him? It's obviously a bit of schadenfreude, didn't this stupid son hear it?

"Prince Ning is so bold that he dares to take advantage of the rebels' momentum to claim the emperor in the north, doesn't he know that the rebels are just using him?" Li Chengmu read this letter and wanted to vomit blood, don't talk about King Qian in the year of knowing his fate.

"The rebels used him to achieve the goal of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Prince Ning didn't want to use the rebels to achieve his desire to be the emperor."

Saying that, Xia Jing sneered: "It's just a raccoon dog, who of them has thought about the people of the world, provoking a civil war, and the lives of the world are ruined, it has never been something that those of them who are dominated by the desire for power should consider." ”

After reading the letter, Li Chengmu slapped his palm on the table angrily, "Since Tian shamelessly named the country "Ming" and the year name "Jianyuan", is he ambitious to unify the world and become the founding emperor? ”

Xia Jing looked at his red hand, only felt that her hand was also painful, and reminded him, "Save some energy, don't smash my table!" ”

Isn't it stupid to abuse one's own hands like this for the sake of others!

Li Chengmu shook his hand and looked up at Xia Jing: "The traitor has spread the news, I believe that everything the world should know knows, what should we do?" ”

The Ming Kingdom announced to the world that Dayu Jiangshan was equal to losing half of it, and it would be a situation of separation between the north and the south in the future.

"Prince Ning may be unwilling to be taken advantage of by the rebels and proclaim himself emperor. He is the brother of Emperor Huiyuan and the uncle of Emperor Mingxi, and your father is the uncle of Emperor Huiyuan and the uncle and grandfather of Emperor Mingxi, which do you say is closer? ”

Xia Jing had a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "It's a pity that Emperor Mingxi didn't think of letting him inherit the throne at the last moment, but issued an edict for your father to inherit it, just by virtue of this, your father is the rightful emperor, son, what are you worried about?" ”

"I" Li Chengmu was dumbfounded, took a deep breath and said: "I know what it means for Prince Ning to be emperor in the north, but the rebels occupy Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, which means that they can directly take Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, and threaten Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the south, and there is a Beidi in the Gyeonggi region who has been standing still."

The current situation can be imagined how difficult it is for Dayu, and Li Chengmu also realized at this time that his father will take over this mess at this time, how bad the situation is!

If you are not careful, you will be ruined and killed, and you will follow in the footsteps of Emperor Mingxi.

"You can calmly analyze the overall situation in case of trouble, and you have done a good job." Xia Jing glanced at the green mountains outside the window, turned around and said: "Since you already know the current situation, then you should not panic in your heart, but think calmly, how should we break this situation, things must be solved one by one, panic will not solve any problems." ”

"Does the concubine have a way to break this dilemma?"

"Didn't you just say that there are Beidi and the rebels who are threatening us now, then we will deal with him in the same way!"

Li Chengmu frowned: "The most important thing at the moment is Beidi and the rebels, but don't forget that the Central Plains is not Lingnan, and there are still many bandits everywhere in the Central Plains." ”

Speaking of this, Li Chengmu sighed weakly, I don't know if I don't analyze, this analysis found that the current Dayu is simply full of holes, leaking wind and rain everywhere, I really don't know where to start to make up for the leaks.

Xia Jing looked at her son's anxious appearance and scratched her cheeks, and shook her head: "Didn't you say just now, the difficulties are solved one by one, just think about it, you will never see the end, I feel that the mountain of difficulties is difficult to climb, but if you settle down to solve the difficulties, you will find that the more you do it, the easier it will be." ”

At this moment there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, and in a moment the horses stopped.

"Mother!"

Xia Jing lifted the curtains, it was a few stepsons, and the messenger who had rushed into the team just now was in an eight-hundred-mile hurry, everyone saw it, and everyone wanted to know the content of the news.

"It's the second, third, and fourth, it's not too early, you go and tell Feng Tu and let him find a place to rest in front."

A few stepsons knew that they would wait for the team to stop before Xia Jing would tell them what news Jiankang had come.

Seeing Xia Jing's calm expression at this time, no matter how curious she was, she could only press it down and wait for the camp.

In fact, now that it has come to this point, in fact, Li Chengli, Li Chengzhan and Li Chengyi are all regretting, regretting why they didn't have a hot head and went to Jiankang Qinwang with King Qian.

If they had gone with them at the beginning, then they would have a share of the credit, and maybe they would have left a good impression in front of King Qian.

None of them thought that King Qian would just go to be a diligent king, and he would actually be able to get the edict of succession.

settled down, and several stepsons gathered in Xia Jing's royal tent.

Xia Jing was not hypocritical, and directly circulated the letter to them.

Li Chengmu did not forget to analyze the current situation with them on the side, so that they all realized how grim the current situation is, don't think about intrigue and power struggle when you come to Jiankang, which will only consume national strength and speed up the demise of Dayu.

The situation is in front of them, and the timid are very uneasy, such as the second Li Chengzhan, he is a man with a heart and no courage, and he can sit back and enjoy his success, and let him expand his territory is his life.

Li Chengli was very irritable in his heart, and Jiankang sent a letter, he thought about various possibilities, but he didn't expect that it was Prince Ning who would become emperor with the support of the rebels.

Now this situation is not as good as when they first arrived in Lingnan, although they were struggling at that time, they could at least break the situation, and even if they couldn't break the situation, it would not threaten their lives.

And in today's situation in the world, if you can't get it right, you will have to wipe out the rhythm of the species.

Li Chengyi was the first to speak: "There are still two state capitals in the north, we can let Jizhou and Youzhou attack the rebels, and come to attack on both sides, to see if the rebels are Gu Qian or Gu Wei?" ”

Xia Jing shook her head slowly, and asked with a smile: "According to what you said, the premise is that the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and Youzhou are willing to listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, and if they disobey the order, you will be helpless against them." ”

"If they do not obey the will, they are rebellious!"

"They can make excuses, the two imperial courts, one south and one north, are surnamed Li, who should he listen to?"

Xia Jing glanced at him and sighed in her heart, when the rebels supported Prince Ning's accession to the throne, it would indicate that the princes of the world would not be far away from the Central Plains.

Traveling back to this ancient world, it is really difficult to lie down and retire without giving her a stable environment.

The brothers looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do next.

——

Jin Zupei, the county guard of Changsha County, lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea was seventy percent full, he put down the teapot and looked at the visitor: "You said that Princess Qian is already thirty miles away?" ”

"Yes, sir." The subordinate nodded.

Jin Zupei turned his head to look at the county officials and staff who were sitting at the bottom, "You said that the princess wants to take a boat to Jiankang and go directly from Guanqiao Town to the riverside ferry, why do you want to go to Changsha County?" ”

"The army's march is the top priority, maybe the transfer to Changsha County is to raise grain and grass?"

"It's possible!"

"Our Changsha County is in short supply of grain and grass, and her team of 80,000 needs a lot of grain and grass.

Jin Zupei put down the teacup and shook his head again and again: "Don't forget, Jiankang is already the lord of the world, if we offend the princess this time, will that person make a mark?" ”

"This" Jun Cheng looked at everyone and said helplessly: "Are we going to let her take what she wants?" You must know that our county also has a garrison to support. ”

"Let's take a step at a time, everyone will follow me to the city gate to meet you first." Jin Zupei stood up, and on the surface he didn't dare to slack off.

When Xia Jing's team arrived at the gate of Changsha City, they were warmly greeted by the people of Changsha.

The officials guarding the yamen of the county were even more welcoming.

"Mother, the people of Changsha County still have a sense of ceremony!"

Xia Jing looked out of the car window and looked at the people on both sides of the road, "It should be the Changsha County guards hired to perform in groups." ”

"What is a group performance?" Lee Seung-mu asked.

Xia Jing chuckled: "It's an extra, who specializes in playing this one for us to see." ”

"Ah" Li Chengmu scratched his head: "Can it still be like this?" ”

"Do you think the people really welcome you?" Xia Jing knocked on his head, "It's beautiful, we are completely strangers to the people of Changsha County, why do they want to welcome us?" ”

The soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, and the county guard wanted to welcome Xia Jing and other palace masters into the city, but Xia Jing refused.

Now that the situation is unknown, it is better for them not to leave the team.

The princess didn't enter the city, Jin Zupei really didn't dare to leave it alone, and asked the housekeeper to send a few tables of wine and food in the evening.

Due to the large number of troops stationed outside the city, the people of Changsha County paid special attention to the outside of the city.

In the morning of the next day, the people found a notice posted at the gate of the city.

"Conscription!"

"Why is it suddenly conscripted again?"

"What is written on it? Why the sudden conscription? ”

The soldiers standing next to the notice were brought by Xia Jing from Lingnan, and they patiently helped the people explain the terms and conditions above.

"Now that there are such good conditions for conscription, you can get five taels of silver when you sign up, and there will be two taels of military pay per month after enlistment, and if you die in battle, there will be thirty taels of head compensation, is it true?"

Can you believe that? Don't wait for the registration to enter the barracks, but the money is not distributed on time! ”

The people's distrust of the government is also reflected in this conscription.

The whole morning passed, and there were many people watching the excitement at the city gate, and there were many heated discussions, but no one wanted to come to the real-name registration.

After Xia Jing learned of the situation, she asked people to transport a few boxes of silver ingots in the afternoon, and stacked the silver ingots directly on the table for officers and soldiers.

The people were obviously stimulated by the silver ingot.

Five taels and one ingot, as long as you register, you can immediately receive a spindle.

The effect of physical promotion is very good, and many people who are in difficulty in life come forward to ask.

There are also young and middle-aged people who have a lot of labor at home to sign up directly, register with household registration, as long as the conditions are met, you can receive a silver ingot of five taels after registration.

Some people who are a little over the age limit want to register, but I'm sorry I don't accept it.

When the news reached the county guard's mansion, Jin Zupei was anxious.

The population was concerned by the imperial court in any dynasty, and Xia Jing's conscription in Changsha County was equivalent to sucking away the young and middle-aged people in Changsha County.

In the era of farming, the loss of young and middle-aged people can directly lead to the regression of farming, how can Jin Zupei not be in a hurry with such serious consequences?

Overnight, he summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures, and the next day he rushed to the military camp outside the city by carriage.

"Princess, you can't recruit soldiers with us anymore, in the past few years, disasters have continued, natural disasters and man-made disasters, the population is not rich, and finally accepted some refugees to fill the vacancy last year, you came to recruit again, and the young and middle-aged people have been withdrawn, how will our Changsha County develop?"

Xia Jing listened to his words, and she didn't get angry, but just smiled: "Lord Jin, do you know how much I have to recruit one in Lingnan?" ”

The smile on Jin Zupei's face froze, and he asked, "How many levies?" ”

Xia Jing raised three fingers: "Three Ding draw one, and in your Changsha County, in fact, I want to implement five Ding draw one, just because the time is urgent, I have to temporarily recruit soldiers, but for the sustainable development of Changsha County, we have always been five Ding to draw one, six Ding to draw one, so it stands to reason that the impact on Changsha County is not great." ”

Jin Zupei was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "But. . . Princess, we will also be conscripted after the autumn harvest. ”

Xia Jing's eyes lit up: "You conscription? Could it be that the garrison quota of the county town is not enough, or is the county guard preparing to increase the number of troops privately? ”

"Huh?" Jin Zupei wiped the sweat from his forehead, came back to his senses and knew what he said, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, princess, you misunderstood, last time to reinforce Jiankang, Lord Assassin Shi drew part of the troops from the garrisons of our counties, so we must make up the soldiers after the autumn harvest this year." ”

Xia Jing nodded suddenly in realization: "I see, then take the liberty of asking, did Yuan Tingshi transfer the troops to Jiankang?" ”

Jin Zupei breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, with the prince going to Jiankang, he stayed in Jiankang for a few months and didn't come back." ”

Thank you A! Purple leaves, want to inherit the crown, purple small fish monthly pass support~
