The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 359 Mutiny
The king of Nan'an County is the most powerful prince, but the situation in Yunnan is different from that in the mainland, and a vassal king is indeed needed to be stationed there.

Shi Ding informed Nan'an County King about the current situation in the capital, with a look of worry on his face.

King Nan'an shook his head when he heard about it.

"Although I am dissatisfied with the emperor's treatment of the Supreme Emperor, but the matter has come to this point, we are oblivious to the emperor, so we can only pretend that we don't know.

And as an accomplice, King Zhongshun, although I despise him, I know that he is a loyal and righteous man with great talent.

According to his strategy, it is a good policy for the country to plan it slowly.

Liu Yiru is so hostile to nobles and regardless of national conditions, sooner or later he will become a great harm to the country. "

Shi Ding was also helpless.

Although he also took refuge in the emperor early, he was not as innocent as Liu Yiru, let alone the emperor's trust in Liu Yiru.

Although he was fine at the moment, he couldn't stop Liu Yiru.

The King of Nan'an sighed.

"All the clan envy me for having a feudal land, but they don't know how hard I am living in Yunnan."

The king of Nan'an County is far away from the court, so someone must speak for him in the capital, otherwise some matters related to him, no one will take care of him in a hurry, and it may cause bad things.

In the capital, besides his staff, there is also Shi Ding who has a good relationship with him, so he is willing to complain to Shi Ding.

Shi Ding showed a surprised look.

The King of Nan'an smiled wryly.

"Not to mention the complex terrain of Yunnan, which borders many overseas countries. Annan is getting stronger and stronger, and the Khanate is expanding rapidly.

Relying on Yunnan alone is absolutely impossible to resist, and the domestic situation is fluctuating, making it even more impossible to support Yunnan.

If something changes, I don't know what the future holds. "

It was the first time Shi Ding learned of this situation from the mouth of Nan'an County King, and he was shocked.

"Needless to mention the situation in Liaodong, the situation in Shaanxi is even worse. If the situation in Yunnan changes again, I'm afraid..."

"What happened to Shaanxi?"

The King of Nan'an was surprised.

Of course he knew that there was civil unrest in Shaanxi, and his aides in the capital had informed him in letters.

But his usual impression.

There are civil unrests every year, and they gradually subside over time. How could Shi Ding say that it has become a worse situation than Liaodong?

Shi Dingsui told Nan'an County King in detail.

"The imperial court supported the battlefield in Liaodong. There were actually [-] soldiers, but in the end only [-] were sent because some troops mutinied along the way."

Thirty thousand soldiers mutinied on the way.

Hearing Shi Ding's words, King Nan'an was stunned.

"Ugh."

Seeing Nan'an County King's expression, even though Shi Ding had known about it for many days, he still couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

But it just happened.

He told the king of Nan'an which roads one by one.

"According to the order of the Ministry of War, Zhang Honggong, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, led 3000 Jin soldiers to Shandong. The governor of Shaanxi also volunteered to lead more than [-] officers and soldiers from the Fubiao Battalion and the Taiyuan Battalion.

Gansu also mobilized its sergeants, and this time it entered Liaodong to fight. Elite soldiers from all over the country were mobilized, but the soldiers from the northwest did not appear. "

"Did they all mutiny?"

The King of Nan'an seems to have heard a big joke, which is not in line with common sense at all.

"Zhang Honggong's army, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, arrived at Tongzhou first, Changping on the second day, and transferred to Liangxiang on the third day.

According to regulations, the army is not allowed to open food on the day it arrives in the flood area. "

Hearing Shi Nai's words, Nan'an County King understood that the imperial court has this rule, but the rule is dead, and people are alive.

You can't completely abide by the regulations because of irresistible reasons, regardless of the actual situation, and watch the soldiers starve to death.

If it is really so strict, this is definitely not a good official who strictly abides by the system, but a mediocre official who is unwilling to take responsibility and ignores the situation.

"Shanxi soldiers went to three places in three days, and they didn't receive rations for three days. The soldiers were extremely angry.

He was generous, so he looted food near the station by himself.

The court ordered the arrest of Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong for failing to restrain the army.

These [-] elite soldiers dispersed and fled back to Shanxi when they saw their leaders go to prison for questioning.

After the incident became serious, the Ming court not only did not blame itself for the inappropriate handling, but instead executed Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong. "

This thing is very weird.

But thinking of the current atmosphere in the country, people are so sophisticated, officials slack off their official duties, care about personal friendship, not proud of their achievements, but proud of their relationships.

Serious and responsible people are discriminated against, and those who entertain and give gifts are praised.

The former was squeezed out and suppressed, and did not get a good reputation, while the latter was easily promoted, thinking that he would be a man.

What's more, the saying that you can do things only if you know how to behave is widely circulated and considered to be right.

Therefore, after listening to Shi Ding's words, the king of Nan'an County was not surprised to understand the cause and effect before and after.

"The large-scale escape of Yansui town soldiers did not cause too much damage. It was the Gansu mutiny. Fortunately, the governor arranged traitors and assassinated several intellectuals, and the division and wooing subsided."

"It's still a talented official."

Hearing the governor's arrangement for the mutiny, the King of Nan'an praised him.

Shi Ding disagreed.

"Although the mutiny was suppressed, it disrupted the local military deployment and dragged the energy of local officials.

Moreover, the soldiers who participated in the mutiny often did not dare to return home, and many of them were wandering and penniless, and threw themselves into the mob in groups.

It is equivalent to the power originally belonging to the imperial court, which has become a force resisting the imperial court, increasing the strength of the rioters.

These soldiers are all elite soldiers, have received military training and have combat experience. Now the bandit army in Shaanxi can no longer be suppressed.

A large number of people crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, which is closely related to these several mutinies. "

After all, the Nan'an County King is the real powerful prince who guards one side.

His seniority is of the same generation as the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, he can understand what Shi Ding said, and at the same time, he is not too unfamiliar with the domestic situation.

For example, why didn't the imperial court provide disaster relief, and why didn't they recruit refugees, so that the situation deteriorated so much.

"National construction is difficult, and it is time to overcome difficulties together. When all matters are resolved, the country has spare power to rescue the victims and ease the hardships of the soldiers.

However, the common people and soldiers, regardless of the situation of the country, chose to leave their homes and do harm to all parties, so that the country was even more unable to deal with the old difficulties.

As a result, the country has become worse and worse, and it has become more and more difficult since then.

Ugh. "

The king of Nan'an County let out a long sigh.

Putting down the luminous glass in his hand, the expensive red wine purchased from overseas in the glass is no longer fragrant, and he feels that it is tasteless to drink.

Talking about these things makes people worry, Nan'an County King put down these things and told Shi Ding.

When he came to Beijing, he brought three ships of gifts and entrusted Shi Ding to take care of them.

Just like Jia's house, in the south, they give gifts and do things, because the distance is far away, and the operation of materials remains unchanged.

Therefore, he left a lot of property in the Zhen family in advance, and the Zhen family gave gifts to make friends in the capital, and they will also leave a lot of property in the Jia mansion.

The king of Nan'an was in the capital, and most of his property was placed in Shi Ding's home.

The staff of Nan'an County King in the capital will only keep a very small part in their hands for temporary and short-term use, and they can ask for it at any time in the Shifu in the future.

Tang Qing'an was in the capital and had a lot of belongings, some of them were in Jia's mansion and some of them were in Chen Deyan's hands.

Because Tang Qing'an completely trusted Chen Deyan, he left a lot of property in Chen Deyan's hands.

The birthday of Jia's mother in Jia's mansion was lively for several days, and the honorable families in the whole capital were shocked, receiving countless gifts.

Including Jinjiang town.

Among the nobles, a generous gift, a random gift, is enough for the lifelong use of dozens of households.

Not to mention the big gifts outside, but the small gifts among the women in the inner courtyard.

Not to mention Concubine Nan'an, Concubine Beijing's move was only a gift from one of the ordinary wives to the five young ladies.

One set includes five gold rings, five jade rings, and five strings of fragrant wrist beads.Enough for the lifelong use of ordinary people's homes.

Not to mention the fight between the princesses, not to mention the abundance of gifts Jiamu received.

Not to mention the traditional four kings and eight princes in the capital, there are also many marquises, and over the years, new princes and marquises.

The human relations of these honorable families alone are enough to support Shaanxi.

The capital of Great Zhou has a population of one million.

A Jia mansion has thousands of servants inside and outside.

The capital has the imperial city, clan, nobles, ministers, officials, military generals, messengers, and a huge ruling class.

Out of a million people, a few percent are their slaves, or people who rely on these classes to earn their livelihoods.

Relying on salary alone, how can we support servants and live a luxurious life?

At the end of the Cao River, on the pier in Tianjin, the gift-giving boats are all transported here by boat.

It is a small head for a private person to give to a private person.

The local yamen is the most important thing to send to the public yamen of the various departments in the capital.

This is all sophistication.

It's the way to get promoted.

~~~~~~
West Liaoning.

Because of the raging civil unrest in Shaanxi, which was already powerless to suppress, coupled with the opposition from all over the country, the [-] domestic reinforcements did not stay as King Zhongshun wanted.

It's not that the court is unwilling, but that it's powerless.

The country needs elite soldiers to suppress the localities.

King Zhongshun can recruit soldiers again, but the elite soldiers in his hand cannot be left behind.

Beizhen began to be established, the elite soldiers were transferred away from Liaodong, the barbarians retreated to the northeastern part of Liaodong, and Jinjiang Town completely became a ferocious beast that devoured people.

No one can suppress it.

"The rise of any force, and even its decline, will definitely not come from the outside world, but because of its own failure."

The more everything is developing for the better, the more cautious Tang Qing'an is.

"Officials and generals in Jinjiang Town are strictly forbidden to give gifts. Once they are discovered, they will be severely punished. There will be no tolerance."

In the name of Ping Liaohou, Tang Qing'an sent official documents from the Jiedu Mansion to various places.

Today you give one tael, tomorrow he gives ten taels, and the day after tomorrow he gives one hundred taels. The benefits you give out will be exchanged for more benefits.

After the exchanges, it finally fell on the heads of the people.

Although I know that it is impossible to completely eradicate it, but just like the later generations, from time to time, there are repeated orders and five orders, and anyone who dares to violate it will be severely punished.

"Any official who organizes various events and collects cash gifts can be reported by anyone. The official will be charged with corruption, and the person who gave the gift will be charged with bribery.

All the property found will belong to the person who reported, and anyone who dares to retaliate against the person who reported will be sentenced to death. "
