"That's what he said in the newspaper, and the minister didn't dare to believe it, but in any case, this matter should not be underestimated, so the ministers and others ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment!"
Fang Congzhe replied cautiously.Zhu Youxiao nodded.At this time, Fang Congzhe continued: "However, Your Majesty, please rest assured, even if Zhou Yuji rebels, the ministers will not cause great turmoil if he forgives him, Shandong Governor Xu Keqiu, Zhejiang Governor Xu Ruke, Huguang Governor Cai Fuyi, Jiangxi Governor Min Hongxue, and Wang Sanshan, who was newly transferred to Fujian as the governor, are all good ministers who can be used and know military affairs, not to mention that Su Song and His Majesty's hand-picked Southeast Governor Zhang Tongchang and Su Song Governor Sun Chengzong are in charge, even if this Xiao Jingao has always been an insightful person, he has already played Zhou Yuji's rebellion, There should be a countermeasure!
In addition, Li Changgeng, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, has also experienced military affairs and is calm, and he will not let Nandu have trouble easily. ”The governors of all provinces were recommended by Fang Congzhe, and Fang Congzhe was also worried that the gentry in Jiangnan would rebel, so he had made preparations long before this, and the governors recommended were all more capable and able to lead troops, except for the emperor's special Jane.But Fang Congzhe knew that Zhou Yuji was the emperor's person, and although Xiao Jingao was a civil official, he might not have Zhou Yuji trusted by the emperor, so he didn't dare to stand in line easily.Fang Congzhe therefore continued: "But what needs to be clarified now is whether Zhou Yuji rebelled or not, and whether Governor Xiao Jingao's words are true. ”Zhu Youxiao knew that Fang Congzhe was playing Tai Chi, but he didn't debunk it, and only let Xiao Jingao's recital: "If you want to say that Zhou Yuji will rebel, then I don't have a credible person!"
”As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao instructed Liu Ruoyu: "Go and pass on Wei Zhongxian!"
”Soon, Wei Zhongxian rushed over to the celebrant supervisor: "Please ask the emperor to command." ”"Is there any important news from the south in the East Factory?"
Zhu Youzheng asked, and heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves outside."
Urgent!
Liang Heng, the anti-corruption department of Dongchang, reported eight hundred miles urgently, and Governor Xiao Jingao conspired against Xu Shaoliang, Huang Zunyi and others!
”"Urgent!
Xu Ruke, the governor of Zhejiang, reported that the Huang clan in Yuyao was in rebellion, and now Yuyao, Ningbo, and Dinghai cities have been captured!
The rest of the troops attacked Hangzhou, but they were repelled by the army and civilians!
”Two military newspapers were delivered at the same time.Fang Congzhe's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and he couldn't help but secretly think that it was fortunate that he didn't blindly stand on the side of the civil official Xiao Jingao, and now it seems that he is only afraid that Xiao Jingao is really going to rebel, otherwise, there will be no rebellion in Zhejiang, after all, Zhou Yuji is a northerner, and he has no strength in the south."
It's just that Xiao Jingao wants to rebel, even if he is a governor, how can he shake the foundation of the world!"
Fang Congzhe thought deeply, and then, he felt that this matter might be related to His Majesty the Emperor's harsh rule, and it might be that some civil officials and gentry were really forced to be anxious."
Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, it seems that Xiao Jingao has different intentions now, otherwise Zhejiang would not have acted at the same time, because Xiao Jingao is from Zhejiang."
Xiong Tingbi pointed out sharply at this time.Zhu Youxiao nodded: "In the end, it's Xiong Aiqing, I can see it thoroughly, this Xiao Jingao is not honest!"
But how could he rebel?
”Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe as he spoke.Fang Congzhe hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing is estimated to only ask him himself." ”"Okay!
Then I went to ask him, the proposed purpose, there are changes in the southeast, filial piety is unstable, the south is restless, I decided to personally conquer the southeast to quell the rebellion, and the first auxiliary party Congzhe and the eunuch Liu Ruoyu stayed in Beijing with the ministers and workers to stay in Beijing, and the major events such as military administration, food administration, and disasters galloped to report on the horse, and then reported in advance!
The second assistant Han Yi, the university scholar Xiong Tingbi and the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the admiral of the Dongchang Wei Zhongxian followed!
”Zhu Youxiao said to Xiong Tingbi: "Xiong Aiqing, immediately decree the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, immediately open a military machine court meeting, transfer the nine-border border army to the Beijing Division, and go south to quell the rebellion with my guard town, I will suppress the southeast!"
”Zhu Youxiao's Guards Town now has two main infantry battalions, plus a well-trained cavalry main battalion, plus the suppression soldiers directly under the Military Justice Department of Guards Town, the total has reached 10,000 people, and its strength has far exceeded that of when it was first established more than two years ago.It can be said that Zhu Youxiao is now the largest military town in the empire with the most elite families.Because other high-ranking military attachés such as the general of the army were restricted by the imperial court, the number of family members under his command was no more than 3,000.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's waist pole has become even harder.Originally, he had already had the idea of going south to completely rectify his wealthy land because of the expansion of Konowei Town to 10,000 people, but now Xiao Jingao's rebellion gave him an excuse.I finally have the opportunity to go down to Jiangnan.This time, Zhu Youxiao didn't want Jiangnan to be controlled by the Jiangnan gentry anymore.He spent his efforts to set up a martial arts hall, train the children of Yulin Wei, and let Lu Jiude and others build a social school and literacy class in Huangzhuang, and also let Bi Ziyan spend so much money to build a new city in Tianjin, just to let the displaced people make up their households, let them be grateful for the emperor's grace, and educate them, for what, so that now, he can have enough talent reserves to change the foundation of clan-style rule.And the first thing he wants to change is Jiangnan, because Jiangnan is the richest, and he needs to let most of Jiangnan's wealth be used for the progress of the empire, instead of becoming the capital of the Jiangnan gentry's own pleasure and degeneration.The border army was transferred to the south, and it was Zhu Youxiao who wanted to win over the military landlords in the north.Because Zhu Youxiao's biggest worry when he went south was not that he couldn't suppress the Jiangnan gentry, it was more than enough to deal with Jiangnan with only fat and no masculinity with his 10,000 horses in Guard Town.Zhu Youxiao was most worried that after he went south, the northern border army would be dishonest.After all, if he, the emperor, hadn't been in the north, it was doubtful whether these border troops would seriously kill the enemy.And Zhu Youxiao naturally wanted to transfer a part of the border army to the south, use the guards to check and balance, and use money to win over.In addition, Zhu Youxiao also planned to transfer the soldiers who were good at fighting in the south to stay in the Beijing Division and other important places to balance the remaining northern border army.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao continued to instruct: "Wang Zaijin is in charge of Jiliao, Xuanda, and Yansui, and Qin Liangyu is the prime minister of Jiliao, Yansui, and Xuanda, and leads 6,000 white pole soldiers to enter Jizhou, and the two of them help to defend the three sides. ”"Obey the order!"
Xiong Tingbi replied, he naturally understood the deep meaning of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and what he needed to consider now was which border troops needed to be dispatched to follow the emperor south."
Xuanfu Dong family, Datong Ma family, Ningxia Ma family, Yulin You family, Du family, these generals each have a part of the door, check and balance each other!
In this way, it can be regarded as fair, just, and impartial, so that His Majesty can only be comfortable when he goes to the south. ”Xiong Tingbi quickly had an idea.…… Three months later, the troops and horses of the various units that were going south with Zhu Youxiao to quell the rebellion had basically been mobilized.And Zhu Youxiao also finalized the time for the pro-conscription.The important ministers in the court tacitly did not stop them, after all, everyone now knows that if they discourage the emperor from going south at this time, they will only lose their heads.In addition, they wished that His Majesty the Emperor would go south to make some more money in the hands of the gentry in Jiangnan, because they had to admit that although His Majesty the Emperor acted ruthlessly, he was really generous to his courtiers who were loyal to him, and he was not a person who was unkind, so they hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would be able to engage in a few more official industries after seeing the real wealth of Jiangnan.
