On the seventh day of February in the second year of Tianqi, earthquakes occurred in Yanzhou Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, and Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong Province.
Officials reported that there were thunderous sounds in various places, the ground cracked and springs gushed out, chickens and dogs barked, and walled houses collapsed.
The earthquake even affected Henan Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Guide Prefecture in Henan.
On the seventh day of March, another earthquake occurred in Jinan Prefecture, Licheng of Dongchang Prefecture and other places.
The earthquake lasted for three consecutive days and destroyed countless houses.
On the eighth day of February, after Zhu Youxiao received the emergency report, he immediately ordered Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, requiring all regions in Shandong to first ensure that the victims had food and shelter, that the victims who died due to the earthquake should be buried in time, and that local order should be restored to normal as soon as possible. .
By the beginning of April, Zhao Yan reported that arrangements for the victims had been made and everyone was safe, and he asked the emperor to exempt the affected areas from taxes.
Zhu Youxiao issued an order to exempt local taxes and provide compensation to Shandong local authorities.
In May, under the instruction of Zhu Youxiao, Chen Daodao, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and others petitioned for Zhang Juzheng, the former bachelor, and listed his twenty achievements.
The emperor also believed that Zhang Juzheng's ten years of assisting the government had brought great peace to the world, and his "contributions are indispensable."
He should be reinstated to his post, be buried, his posthumous title should be changed at his discretion, and his descendants should be allowed to live in the ancestral hall if the house price has not changed.
At this time, Fang Zhongyi, the tenth grandson of Fang Xiaoru, came to the capital to pay tribute and wrote to Fuque.
The emperor issued an edict: Fang Xiaoru should be loyal and sincere, and since he has a bequest, he should be recorded as one with Lian Zining.
These two incidents gave a signal to the officials that the emperor was going to overturn some of the previous cases, as far as Fang Xiaoru and Lian Zining during the reign of Emperor Chengzu, and as recently as Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli Dynasty.
If Zhu Youxiao wants to change the minds of ministers, he must first let everyone know that he is not afraid of modifying the laws of his ancestors.
This matter had just fermented, causing some people's melancholy or thinking, but had not yet had a big impact.
At this time, Shandong urgently reported that on May 11th, Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, led the White Lotus Sect members in Caozhou Prefecture to rebel.
Hearing the news, Zhu Youxiao was surprised and happy.
What was surprising was that the earthquake compensation had been basically in place.
Now Shandong was not without food, so why did it want to rebel?
What was happy was that the Guards could finally engage in actual combat again.
He ordered the governor of Shandong to guard the various places first, and the guards came to quell the chaos.
Then the generals of the Guards were summoned, and everyone discussed the strategy of quelling the rebellion in Shandong.
After the Guards fought against the Jiannu in Liaodong last time, their confidence increased greatly.
They felt that the Jiannu were nothing more than this, not to mention the refugees in Shandong.
Now that Shandong was undergoing a civil uprising, everyone wanted to lead troops to fight.
This is obviously impossible.
The purpose of setting up the Beijing Camp is to defend the capital.
Generally speaking, the Beijing Camp does not leave the capital.
The last time I went to Liaodong was in the name of escorting Xiong Tingbi, and when I went to the southwest, it was also in the name of escorting Qin Liangyu.
Now that all the Guards are going to fight in Shandong, it goes without saying that the minister will not agree.
Therefore, only a part of the troops can still be sent out, but the Shandong civil uprising should only need a small amount of troops to quell it.
But there was a dispute over who should lead the battle.
Yang Guangkui did not go to the battle last time and insisted on going to Shandong this time.
However, Yang Guanggao, who had gone to the battle last time, did not want to stay in the military camp to train and wanted to go to Shandong to make achievements again.
Soon there was a quarrel in front of the emperor.
Only Mangui was still trying to get along with the Guards soldiers, but he did not ask for a fight.
Zhu Youxiao knew that Yang Guangkui was soft-hearted, so he didn't send him to Liaodong last time.
He couldn't let him go to Shandong this time.
But as for the rest of the people, they would definitely feel unhappy if they didn't go.
Of course, they wouldn't feel unhappy among themselves.
Although he showed it in front of him, he still wanted to train them and gain some experience for the next battle with Jiannu.
At this time Lu Xiangsheng spoke: "Your Majesty, I feel that the rebellion in Shandong needs to be put down quickly and not to let the White Lotus Sect in other places follow suit.
We don't need a lot of troops.
Please come and watch the battle."

There was another one to grab meat for, and the generals of the Guards looked at the emperor eagerly, hoping that the emperor would send him to Shandong.
Zhu Youxiao also felt troubled, so he had to comfort everyone, saying that the Guards would be expanded soon.
Those who did not go to Shandong to quell the chaos must ask him to fight the slaves next time, so everyone calmed down.
The emperor decided that the good old man Yang Guangkui would go to Shandong to quell the rebellion.
Since he was soft-hearted anyway, it was better to kill less people in his country.
On May 13, the emperor decreed that Yang Guangkui was promoted to the second rank of the Imperial Guards Commander, and Yang Guanggao was promoted to the second rank of Tongzhi Cong, the Capital Commander of the Imperial Guards.
Zhou Yuji, Cao Wenzhao was promoted to the third rank of the Imperial Guards Commander Qian Shizheng.
Mangui is still in the fifth rank of Zhenfuzheng.
Yang Guangkui and Cao Wenzhao led troops to Shandong to quell the chaos.
The Bachelor of Attendance was promoted from the fifth rank Lu Xiang to the supervisor of the army.
Yang Guangkui and Cao Wenzhao led a cavalry battalion, two infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, and a baggage battalion, and set off for Shandong on the day the order was issued.
In this way, only two battalions of regular soldiers were left in the capital.
The cabinet and the Ministry of War raised objections.
They felt that the capital's troops were too few and there might be unexpected disasters.
Zhu Youxiao replied: "The strength of the capital lies in virtue rather than danger.
Besides, nowadays Isn’t there still the Beijing Jingcao Ban Army that entered the capital to defend the capital?
I believe it is enough to guard the capital.
"The ministers can't tell the emperor that the Jingcao squadron actually has no combat effectiveness at all.
They are all rubbish.
Then the emperor will say, why is it rubbish?
Why don't you usually say it?
So you can only watch.
He left with most of the Guards.
The textbook Zhu Youxiao learned in his previous life told him that the civil unrest in Shandong was not a rebellion, but an uprising.
From a historical perspective, it should be affirmed, so he told the generals that as long as Xu Hongru was captured, the rest would be enough.
Don't kill them, just send them away.
Except for Yang Guangkui, he wanted to kill none of the generals.
Although he complained, he did not dare to object and followed the order.
Lu Xiangsheng proposed that his leader should be killed, but Zhu Youxiao vetoed it.
Then the details were reported.
Xu Hongru claimed to be the Fulie Emperor of Zhongxing, changed the title to the first year of Dacheng Xingsheng, named Chen Canyu the Prime Minister of the Right, and named his younger brother Xu Heyu the King of Heroes.
In addition, they also had official positions such as the Governor and the Chief Soldier.
After capturing the county seat or something, they would directly open warehouses to release grain.
Those who received the grain would rebel with them.
Only then did he understand that it was not the government forcing the people to rebel, but the cult rebellion, which wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty.
How could this be done?
Even if you are righteous, there is no way I would let you be the emperor.
At this time, the Guards had already set off, and he immediately ordered people to catch up and deliver the message: All important figures who participated in the rebellion would be killed unless they surrendered.
The ringleaders were brought to the capital, executed in a hurry, and their three clans were exterminated.
He also told the generals of the Guards that if they encounter resistance, no matter who the opponent is, they must not be merciful and hold back.
However, if the enemy surrenders, they must not kill good people and take credit.
The Guards will not take credit for their heads.
The generals of the Guards strongly supported this, which was certainly much better than the previous order
