Chapter 469: An Eventful Summer (3)

On April 24, the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the weather was so hot that it was panicked, although it rained heavily in the afternoon, it brought a trace of coolness to the Jingshi, but as soon as the sun came out, the water vapor was steaming, and the weather was even more stuffy and uncomfortable, and there were few pedestrians on the street. At the last moment, a horse outside Changchun Garden arrived, the knight on the horse looked anxious, a grass-green new military uniform had been soaked into dark green with sweat, panting outside the garden gate to roll the saddle and fall off the horse, not waiting to stand firm, couldn't wait to take out the fire card from his arms, together with the clerk box on his back, handed it to the sergeant of the Shanpu Battalion who heard the news, and shouted urgently: "Emergency military report, eight hundred miles urgent!" ”

"Lord Ma, Lord Zhang, the Jiangxi 800-mile expedited army has reported. He Tie, the commander of the Shanpu Battalion, who learned the importance of the 800-mile expedited military report, did not dare to slack off, so he took the military newspaper and hurriedly rushed to the military aircraft minister's duty office.

"What? Eight hundred miles expedited? Ma Qi, who was copying the abridgement, shook his hand, and a drop of bean-sized ink fell down, staining the abridgement that was being written, but Ma Qi couldn't care about the abridgement at this time, Huo Ran got up, took the military newspaper box in He Tie's hand, and didn't open it immediately, looking at He Tiedao: "Where is the saint?" ”

"Lord Yuma, the Holy Lord has been tired for many days, and he has just fallen asleep for a long time, and the lower officials dare not alarm the Holy Lord, so I will first come to Lord Ma and Master Zhang to get an idea. He Tie replied with a steady face.

"Oh. Ma Qi responded casually, walked back to his desk with the military newspaper box, took out a bunch of keys, opened the box, took out the military newspaper placed in it, tore open the seal, and only glanced at it. His face immediately turned a little pale.

"Master Ma, this military report ......" Zhang Tingyu didn't come back to his senses after looking at Ma Qi for a long time, so he had to ask.

"Oh, Lord Zhang, please look. Ma Qi shook his head, and handed the general to Zhang Tingyu.

"How so. Zhang Tingyu quickly glanced at the military newspaper, the sweat on his head suddenly fell, and he didn't care about wiping it, stomped his feet and said, "It's a big deal, Lord Ma." You and I have to go to the saint immediately. Ma Qi hesitated slightly, but in the end, he nodded heavily, and he and Zhang Tingyu trotted all the way towards Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion.

Yinzuo has a heavy heart these days, and his sleep is so poor, but he was finally woken up by Gao Nianying after being confused for a while, but when he heard that it was an 800-mile urgent military report from Jiangxi, he didn't care about the seizure, and immediately announced that Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu would meet him.

"Holy. The two counties of Wuning and Yongxiu in Jiujiang Prefecture pulled the flag and set off cannons, and the White Lotus Sect thugs ransacked the yamen of the two counties and occupied the county seat. As soon as Ma Qi saw Yinzuo, he immediately knelt on the ground. He held the emergency document above his head, and said the general content of the general's report one by one.

What? Is it the other way around? Yinzuo's mind buzzed, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped, suppressing his anger. waved his hand and motioned Gao Nianying, who was accompanying him, to step forward and deliver the general's report. Unfold the military report and take a closer look, Yinzuo is even more angry - Jiangxi was originally a rampant place for the White Lotus Sect, although the imperial court has repeatedly issued edicts to clean up but has never been able to cure it, since the implementation of the stall into the mu, the official gentry and the integration of the grain, the interests of the local rich households and landlords have been seriously damaged, so that the White Lotus Sect continues to grow in this place, and even violent tax resistance, April 19, the eighth year of Yuanzhuo. Wan Nankui, a large landlord in Wuning County, violently resisted taxes, killed the tax collectors who came to collect taxes, and then, fearing the suppression of the government, raised the flag and set off cannons, saying that "for the heavens", gathered people to rebel, and attacked the county seat of Wuning. Next. Xiushui County also held up the flag in rebellion, and the mob in the two counties was under the command of the White Lotus Sect. Captured Wuning and Xiushui counties, most of the officials and a small number of garrisons in the two counties were killed, the rest were captured, the two counties fell, the people of Jiangxi were panicked, and a great chaos was about to arise.

his way to heaven! Lao Tzu is the sky! Yinzuo's heart was full of anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, this Liangshan Shuikou's banner has been played, hehe, for the heavens, it's very good!" What do you think of the two Aiqing? ”

"Crack!" Ma Qi said without hesitation: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that such a scourge to the country and the people as the White Lotus Sect should be completely exterminated, and not a single grass will be left. ”

Ma Qi's murderous words suddenly startled Zhang Tingyu - more than 100,000 people participated in the riots in the two counties, how many heads should be on the ground if this crackdown continues? Zhang Tingyu peeked at Yinzuo's iron-blue face, his lips moved a few times, and he forced himself to speak: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that the suppression is the right thing to do, such a fierce thug, it is not enough to understand the law of the country, but the minister thinks that this matter should be instigated by the White Lotus Sect in it, and the blind followers are numerous, if they are exterminated together, the damage will be too serious, and it will hurt the heavens and the peace, and the minister thinks that it is also the best policy to suppress and appease and re-fall." Think twice. ”

Ma Qi retorted unceremoniously: "Master Zhang's words are subtle, my Qing Dynasty is at the time of the use of foreign troops, and Qi Neng can tolerate villains to make trouble, and besides, I have enough food for the soldiers, so why should I compromise with the rebellious people?" The Holy Lord, the minister thought that he should quickly exterminate these bandits, so as not to poison the place, and if the thieves spread, or there was a rebellion in the future, it is not known. Holy Wisdom, please! ”

Damn the White Lotus Sect, ***, always pops out from time to time to make trouble, well, the envoys to carry forward the Ministry of Industry have all been done, it should have been done a long time ago, what kind of fame is this stinky boy doing slowly! The Rebellion of the Former Ming? I'm afraid this is too much, but if the White Lotus Sect is allowed to mess around, once the two rivers are taxed, and the overseas is still fighting, once there is a problem with the food and salary, the entire court situation must not be messed up into a pot of porridge and kill the! Yinzuo Tie blushed and thought for a while, then slapped the table and said, "Suppress!" Convey my will: Order the commander of the Liangjiang Military Region to immediately dispatch the Eighth and Ninth Armies to suppress it, with Chen Miao, deputy chief of staff of the two generals, under the command of Chen Miao, and must exterminate the White Lotus Sect thugs in the two counties within a month, and those who do not surrender will be killed! As for those who descend, they will be imprisoned first, and wait for my will. As soon as Yinzuo's golden mouth opened, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu couldn't care about quarreling anymore, so Zhang Tingyu drafted the edict set by Yinzuo, handed it over to Yinzuo, and used the jade seal, and hurriedly sent someone to the Liangjiang Military Region.

Good things don't go out, but bad things can spread thousands of miles, this emergency military report just arrived in Beijing at the end of the day, and it spread when it was you, and well-informed people already knew about it, even the various versions of rumors among street wine shops have emerged. Even the news that the Holy Lord was furious and sent troops to suppress it spread with a nose and eyes. In the rumors all over the city, he had no intention of being in the Ministry of Industry after getting the news, so he hurriedly cleaned up, got up in a sedan chair and returned to the Lingering Garden, and ignored the greetings of people all the way, and hurriedly entered the study.

"Mr. Xiao, there is a big mess in Jiangxi, and Benbeile heard that the two counties of Wuning and Yongxiu in Jiujiang Prefecture in Jiangxi have fallen into the hands of thieves. It is said that the White Lotus Sect is stirring up trouble in it, so how is this good? Hongyang didn't even have time to wipe the sweat on his face, and he hurriedly said before he could sit down.

"Oh?" Xiao Yao looked up from the stack of manuscripts and glanced at Hongyang, but he didn't look too surprised.

"What? It's all over the place, and Mr. is not in a hurry at all? Seeing Xiao Yao's flat face, Hongyang couldn't help but ask out loud.

Xiao Yao laughed and said, "The saint is not necessarily in a hurry, how anxious is the second master?" The policy of apportioning the land into the mu and the integration of the officials and gentry to collect grain and land was implemented. If there is no follow-up means to support it, the world will be in chaos for a while, and as for the White Lotus Sect, it is just taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, and it is not surprising that ringworm is affected by the ears. Some thought that it was a foregone conclusion that the Holy Lord would send troops to suppress it. At this time of turmoil in the hearts of the people, how can we shake the hearts of Xiaoxiao without exterminating the bandits with the power of thunder? However, this matter may have something to do with the second master. ”

"Me? Huang Ama is not going to let Benbel take command, right? When he heard that this matter might be related to himself, he looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously, and blurted out.

"Where does the second master want to go. Although the second master can be regarded as a little knowledgeable about military affairs, he has never led soldiers, and the holy soldiers have skipped people, so how can he hand over the army to the second master to command? Xiao Yao laughed and said.

"That ......" Hongyang thought about it, and he felt funny, but he didn't understand what Xiao Yao meant when he said that this mess was related to him.

Xiao Yao smiled and looked at him and said, "I'm afraid the saint is scolding the second master at the moment, hehe, the saint is waiting for the second master's hand to save it." It's time for the second master's charter to make a move, well, there are three days left before the early dynasty, and the second master might as well go to the book tomorrow. ”

Yang Yang smiled and said: "This is natural, Ben Baylor originally planned to go to Ben as soon as possible, but it was just ......"

Although the words carried forward were not complete, those subtexts could not hide Xiao Yao's calculations, and Xiao Yao explained with a smile: "Hehe. The second master's doubts are nothing more than the fourth article. At this time, it is the best time, and the Holy One will understand. Well. If the expectation is not bad, the eldest brother is only afraid that he will also be on the capital during this period of time, hehe, if the saint sends someone to clean up the mess in Jiangxi Province, who will be the final winner, a certain is optimistic that the second master can win, even if the saint is afraid of it. ”

"Why do you say that, sir? Huang Ama has always treated my eldest brother and me equally, and there is no bias, where does this optimism come from? Hongyang thought carefully for a while, but he didn't find out how his father was biased towards him, so he had to ask puzzled.

"How old is the second master?" Xiao Yao asked without answering.

"Huh?" Carry forward looked at Xiao Yao stunned for a long time before he said suspiciously: "Ben Baylor just celebrated his sixteenth birthday at the beginning of the month, what's the matter?" ”

"Sixteen? Hehe, yes, it should be seventeen even if you are a virtual age, the eldest brother got married last year, why has there been no movement here to the second master? Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"This ......" carried forward after a pause and said: "In the past year, there have been many political affairs, and wars have broken out again, and Huang Ama may not forget about it." ”

"Forgot? Hey, even if the saint forgets, but there is still the queen and the Zongren Mansion, will they all forget about it? The reason why the saint didn't mention this matter was to wait for the second master to win, and then choose a good family affair for the second master, and I thought that the saint's intention should be like this! Xiao Yao said categorically.

Hongyang thought about it, but shook his head and said: "Mr. Xiao is very grateful for Ben Baylor's encouragement, Ben Baylor is very grateful, but this matter is too ethereal, it's better not to mention it, well, anyway, Ben Baylor will enter the park early tomorrow morning to hand over the sign and ask for a face, and Mr. Lao will bother more tonight." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, but he didn't say anything more about it, and the two discussed the matter of the charter again......

It was very hot, although the sun had slanted to the west, and although the sea breeze was very strong, the sun was still hot on the body, and the sea breeze was even hotter, blowing on the body not only did not bring a trace of coolness, but made people uncomfortable. Yun Yu stood on the bow deck of the "Wasion" with a serious face, staring at the sea level in the distance with a pair of eyes, as if he didn't feel the heat wave, and his heart was anxious - four days, the First Fleet stayed in this ghost place for four days, and the pre-war seminars were held several times, but there was never a foolproof plan, so Yun Yu couldn't wait for the news from the shadow to come back before he could make a final decision.

"Lord Wang, look, pigeon, pigeon, pigeon!" A guard standing behind Yun Yu suddenly shouted, and all the officers and sailors who were busy on the boat stopped what they were doing, staring at the two carrier pigeons that were flying around the flagship, not to mention cheering, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear of scaring the two cute elves away. Two grey and green carrier pigeons circled the "Wasion" several times, suddenly retracted their wings, and fell towards a small box placed on the top of the cabin, and several sailors who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly ran forward, sealed the door of the pigeon cage, lifted it together with the carrier pigeon in the cage, rushed down to the top of the cabin, and hurriedly rushed towards Yun Yu.

The letter is not long, but it is written in secret language, although Yun Yu is anxious to know the contents, but he can only wait for He Zhen to translate the letter, and the anxious Yun Yu keeps walking around the war room, his cold face is full of sweat......
