Ming Zuo

Chapter 703 Fengqi Jiangnan [Happy birthday to my wife Yuner! 】

Xu Ji, Wang Ruixian and others in Songjiang Prefecture began to actively prepare for the battle, nervously waiting for the counterattack of the officers and soldiers.

However, waiting left and right, for several days in a row, there was no sign of the official army.

They still don't know that there is already chaos all over Songjiang Mansion.

What happened in Songjiang Prefecture spread to other places as if it had grown wings, and immediately caused an uproar.

There are many people engaged in industrial textiles in Songjiang, and these people are naturally allies of the Xu family.

The Songjiang government wants to adopt an extinction attitude towards industrial textiles, and of course it will destroy the jobs of these people.

There was no tandem or discussion, and the resistance actions in all parts of Songjiang Prefecture were spontaneously launched.

After receiving the letter from his father, Qu Ye of Loutang immediately negotiated with local merchants.

After learning of the crisis, everyone quickly united together.

They took the lead before the government, expelled all the local officials, and completely controlled the situation in Loutang.

This is especially true in Fengxian.

The workers of the spinning wheel factory rioted and occupied Nanqiao Town, beating local officials and fleeing.

Similar things happened all over Songjiang Prefecture.

While spontaneously resisting from all over the country, people have been sent to Songjiang Fucheng to inquire about the situation.

Fang Yuegong never thought that his tough actions would cause such a big resistance.

After being kicked out of Songjiang Fucheng, the officers and soldiers couldn't stand at all, and hurried all the way west.

It was only when we retreated to Qingpu that we stabilized our position.

"Hurry up and send someone to report to Nanjing, asking the imperial court to allocate a large army to suppress the rebellion."

Fang Yuegong was panting like a cow, his face was full of panic.

He knew that the matter had developed to this point, and it was beyond his ability to solve it.

Both Zheng Yongchun and Li Wanxiang had no objection to asking for help from Nanjing.

The riots in Songjiang Mansion had a great impact on their official careers, and if they could not be subdued as soon as possible, they would all be held accountable.

But even so, Zheng Wanchun and Fang Yuegong were still full of complaints.

"The lower official has already said that it needs to be considered in the long run. Your lord insists on going his own way, and today's chaos just happened. I'm afraid that the court will be powerless and cause bad consequences."

Fang Yuegong was not intimidated by the temporary setback.

"Songjiang Mansion is my territory of Ming Dynasty, how can we allow ghosts and ghosts to steal it? These rebels are not convinced by Wang Hua, so I will try my best to fight them."

Li Wanxiang was as anxious as an ant on a pot.

"Nowadays there are rebellions everywhere, and there are more than tens of thousands of thieves. Is it really necessary to kill one and bleed like a river?"

Fang Yuegong looked over coldly.

"Could it be that the two of you just sit back and watch my Daming territory be occupied by rebels? If so, how will you and I explain to His Majesty?"

Zheng Yongchun and Li Wanxiang were unhappy.

There was a commotion here, and some local gentlemen from Qingpu came to ask for an audience.

"My lord, Xu Erxuan, I heard that there is chaos in Fucheng, and all the adults are living here, so I am here to help."

Seeing the person coming, Fang Yuegong's eyes were cautious.

"But after Wanghugong?"

Xu Erxuan is now forty-one years old. He is rich and not elegant.

But he was born in a scholarly family.

Because his grandfather was Xu Zhi.

Xu Jie's younger brother.

That's right, Xu Erxuan came here on behalf of the Qingpu Xu family.

Although everyone in the world calls Xu Jie Xu Huating, the Xu family is actually from Qingpu County.

It was only later that Xu Jie moved to Songjiang, so it was called Xu Huating.

But the foundation of the Xu family has always been in Qingpu.

When the Xu family was at its peak, it occupied half of the cultivated land in Songjiang, basically in the Qingpu area.

Because the prefectural capital Huating County is located, the surrounding business is prosperous, and there is not much arable land at all.

Xu Erxuan showed a bright attitude.

"My Xu family has been favored by the emperor, and my ancestors have devoted themselves to the Ming Dynasty. Although Xu is a commoner today, his heart is stable, and the world can learn from it. If the adults have some encouragement, you can clearly say that my Xu family will not be left behind. back."

Zheng Yongchun's eyes were full of suspicion.

"I don't know what is the relationship between Qingpu Xu's family and Songjiang Xu's family?"

Several officials couldn't help being suspicious.

This Xu Erxuan only looked at the name, and seemed to be related to Xu Erjue, Xu Erjue and others.

Xu Erxuan snorted coldly.

"My Xu family in Qingpu has cultivated and studied and passed down from generation to generation, and our family is clean.

Hearing this, Fang Yuegong and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Unexpectedly, there are still loyal people in Songjiang Mansion, where merchants are rampant. With Mr. Xu's help, why worry about the chaos and thieves?"

Xu Erxuan was filled with emotion.

"Songjiang has been prosperous since ancient times, because the local people live and work in peace and contentment. But since the popularity of merchants, people's hearts have been impetuous, so that there is a smoky atmosphere. Now they are rebelling against the imperial court and corrupting the rule of law. I also hope that all the adults will use thunderbolts to punish Xiaoxiao and restore the Songjiang Mansion to Qingming. "

He also increased the weight.

"Xu has already contacted loyal people, asking for money and people. I just ask you adults not to hesitate, put down the rebellion quickly, so that the people of Songjiang can enjoy peace."

Sure enough, in the next few days, many gentlemen and gentlemen from all over Songjiang came here.

These people not only brought money, but also servants, and soon a team of tens of thousands gathered around Fang Yuegong and others.

During this period of time, the officers and soldiers from all over the Songjiang Prefecture also began to send troops after receiving the transfer order.

There were two main garrisons in Songjiang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.

One is the Jiangnan Deputy Commander stationed in Wusong, and the other is the Jinshan general who is stationed in Jinshan.

Among them, the Ming army stationed in Wusong was closer to Songjiang Fucheng. After receiving the military information, Ma Daxuan, the deputy general of the south of the Yangtze River, immediately led his troops southward and approached Fucheng.

However, because of his isolation and strength, Ma Daxuan did not dare to attack alone.They could only camp thirty miles away from Fucheng, waiting for Fang Yuegong and others to lead the army to join them.

Because Jinshan Ginseng General on the other route was far away, it was already ten days after he received the order to gather the troops and set off again.

For a journey of more than [-] miles, Jinshan Ming army walked for eight days, and finally crossed the Huangpu River from Yangjiatang, and stationed in Maqiao Town.

With such a delay, half of the month Wang Ruixian predicted had passed, and the defensive pressure on Songjiang Fucheng was greatly reduced.

However, after what happened in Songjiang Mansion spread to Nanjing, the effect was landslides and ground cracks.

"Isn't it true that the government is forcing the people to rebel?"

After receiving Fang Yuegong's report, all the officials in Nanjing couldn't believe it.

The south of the Yangtze River has always been prosperous and the people's livelihood is stable. Now it is said that the Songjiang Mansion is reversed, which is really unexpected.

"Fang Zhifu has always been clean and honest, and he is most sympathetic to the people's livelihood, but he should not persecute the people too much."

Tang Shiji, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was responsible for assessing Jiangnan officials, and he knew Fang Yuegong very well.

"Let me tell you, everyone, how can we delay after such a big incident? We should use all our troops to quell the rebellion."

The most active person among the Nanjing officials present is naturally Liu Ning, the eunuch of Nanjing's defense.

Eunuchs represent the imperial power, and if someone rebels, the eunuch's reaction is also the most violent.

But when it comes to sending troops to Songjiang Mansion, all the officials in Nanjing showed embarrassment.

"Could it be that Shandong Zuo Menggeng has plots against the Songjiang Mansion?"

A word from Tang Dazhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, made all the civil and military in Jiangnan nervous.
