The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 376 Martial Law in the Capital

"Good, good, good."

Fan Wencheng got up suddenly, full of excitement, breaking the silence in the room.

Fan Wencheng, who was in his thirties, considered a scholar when he was young, and received preferential treatment from Da Zhou.

Regarding his joining the barbarians, he didn't think he had betrayed Da Zhou.

I have never been an official of the Great Zhou, so what are you talking about betrayal.

Until Jinjiang Town issued a call to action, accusing Fan Wencheng and others of betraying the country and the people.

Traitors never think of themselves as traitors, and will definitely find many excuses to justify themselves.

In order to justify himself, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the barbarians, hoping that the barbarians would defeat Jinjiang Town. As for the barbarians slaughtering the common people, how could there be people in his eyes.

People who have common people in their eyes will not be traitors.

"I knew that Haizhou City would definitely become the place where the Liaoxi Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Jinjiang Army would clash."

On the desk is the intelligence about Haizhou that was investigated.

Liaoyang City can no longer be called the capital of the barbarians, and most of the population has moved away. Fan Wencheng stayed in Shenyang because he was in charge of intelligence.

There is Jinjiang army in the middle, barbarian spies can't reach Haizhou, but they can get information from western Liaoning.

He knew that there were rioters in Dazhou, but he didn't care.

Although the chaos will involve the strength of the Great Zhou, but since ancient times, there has never been a reason for the chaos to succeed.

Not only Fan Wencheng thinks so, even domestic officials think so.

Not only the officials of the Great Zhou thought so, but also the officials of the Ming Dynasty in time and space.

The civil unrest in Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty did not start from Chongzhen, but from the end of the Wanli period, and many officials have described it in memorials.

Civil unrest in the past few decades has become a habit for local officials.

Even in the early days of the Chongzhen Dynasty, instead of providing disaster relief, levy was added, and it was even said that the people would suffer for another year because of this background.

Because before Chongzhen came to the throne, there had been civil unrest in Shaanxi, and he was still providing taxes to the government. He even thought that he was still kind, saying that he would let the people persevere for another year.

The emperors in front of him did not say such things, which shows that he is a fool.

Unfortunately, year after year, year after year.

Fan Wencheng's movement alarmed Ning Wan, who was behind the other cases, and the others asked curiously, Fan Wencheng smiled and pointed to the secret report on the desk.

"Great Zhou will break with Jinjiang Town."

Under Fan Wencheng's insistence, Huang Taiji sent another envoy to contact Horqin.

Tell Batulu Khan that Jinjiang Town, which has lost the country of Dazhou and obtained a steady stream of supplies, will not be feared.

Simultaneously.

He took the initiative to send someone to contact King Zhongshun.

If the Jin Jiang army dared to attack King Zhongshun, the barbarians would never stand idly by and would send troops to help King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun originally had this thought, but he was worried about what others would say. Since the barbarians came to his door, he would no longer reject the other party's kindness.

According to his thinking, the imperial court saw clearly the true face of Jinjiang Town this time, and would definitely listen to his own opinion.

~~~~~~
"The Liaoxi Army and the Jinjiang Army turned against each other?"

Under the push of people with a heart, the news spread very quickly on the grassland.

The Ujigit Department, which is far away from western Liaoning.

Xihua also received this information.

"Jinjiang's army is powerful and can defeat the barbarians. After he occupies Liaodong and eliminates the barbarians, he will be a more difficult opponent."

In the tent, the leaders huddled together.

Outside the tent, there was the sound of children playing, and the guards drove them away to play, and the children's voices gradually faded away.

It wasn't until the laughter of the urchins could no longer be heard that Xihua put away the smile on her face and became serious again.

Former episode.

Because of their different attitudes towards Da Zhou, Xi Hua, Weng Ji La Te Bu, and his nephew Nuan Tu, had a bit of trouble.

Soon, the barbarians obeyed his request and finally let Zai Sai back.

Zaisai, who had been captive for many years, lacked prestige, but with his support, he regained his status and let Nuantu no longer manage the two parts.

"So, we should unite with the barbarians to fight against Jinjiang Town together."

After hearing Jihua's request, the leaders of the tribe were not surprised.

The leader of Xihua has always helped anyone who is weak.

At the beginning, the Great Zhou was powerful and took the initiative to help the barbarians. Later, when the barbarians became powerful, they no longer supported the barbarians, and now they have to support the barbarians.

It may not be used to changing to the leaders of other tribes, but the people present here are all old friends of Jihua, or Jihua watched them grow up.

No one will oppose him.

First, there was an incident between the Great Zhou court and Jinjiang Town, and soon it became that the Great Zhou court was going to attack Jinjiang Town.

Thanks to Fan Wencheng's efforts.

He believed that Jinjiang Town, which broke with the Great Zhou Dynasty and attacked each other, no longer had the power of the hundred thousand elite soldiers who defeated the barbarians last year.

Horqin agreed to make an oath with the barbarians to fight against Jinjiang Town together.

Some tribes including Khalkha, under the instigation of Jihua, also began to contact the barbarians, preparing to start an oath.

Jinjiang Town is bordered by Haizhou, Anshan, Liaoyang and Grassland, and some information has also been collected.

Compete against each other.

Jia Jian once again went on a mission to various Mongolian ministries to dispel these rumors and at the same time win over the rest of the Mongolian tribes.

on the grassland.

Hundreds of cavalry from the Jinjiang Army guarded Jia Jian's safety on the grassland.

The biggest object of defense is the barbarian cavalry.

The barbarians originally had many horses, but war horses were different from ordinary horses, requiring careful care and more fine materials.

When the old slave was still alive, he often scolded the leaders of the Mongolian tribes.

Because of the shortage of supplies, the horses of the Mongolian riders are not qualified war horses.

For a year, the old slave strictly ordered the leaders of these grassland tribes to raise their war horses well and not to use them all up, but the scene he saw was not what he wanted, so he angrily reprimanded them.

Now the barbarians are also struggling and cannot afford a large number of war horses.

Therefore, a few hundred Jinjiang Army cavalry is already a strong force, enough to dispel the ill intentions of many people.

Jia Jian met Nuan Tu smoothly.

Nuantu looked at the equipment and horses of the cavalry of the Jinjiang Army, and dared not take them seriously.

"Jinjiang Town has always been Jinjiang Town of the imperial court. Even if villains make trouble, Jinjiang Town will never rebel."

Although Jinjiang's army is powerful, Nuantu still favors Da Zhou in his heart.

Hearing Jia Jian's explanation, he has a certain trust in the person in front of him who has dealt with him before.

"As long as Dazhou doesn't start a war with Jinjiang Town, our department will definitely not move, and at the same time, we won't let Wengjila's department intervene in the battle between Jinjiang Town and the barbarians."

Nuantu already wants to learn from the right-wing Mongolia, accept the canonization and rewards of the Great Zhou, and maintain mutual market and peace.

As for Jin Jiangzhen, in his opinion, he couldn't replace Da Zhou.

So he supports Da Zhou even more, and if Da Zhou asks, he will help Da Zhou send troops.

Da Zhou has this prestige.

When Liaodong was not lost, many Mongolian tribes responded to the call of the Great Zhou to send troops in the battle with the barbarians.

Including Zai Sai's battle with the barbarians was also requested by Da Zhou.

In addition to bamboo shoots.

The Mongolian tribes were basically unwilling to fight for the barbarians, even Zaisai, although they regained control of the tribe with the support of their uncle.

But the hatred for the barbarians could not be eliminated.

Jia Jian visited the Mongolian tribe all the way and met Zai Sai.

Ben was still a middle-aged Zai Sai, with the look of an old man, and he took the initiative to inform Jia Jian before he could speak.

"Because of my uncle, I can't send troops to the barbarians, but I support you, and at the same time let the Taiji of the Khalkha tribe not assist the barbarians."

"Thank you, Chief."

Jia Jian sighed.

big boss.

Haven't heard this title for a long time.

It turned out that Zaisai, the co-owner of the five Khalkha tribes, didn't want to talk about it.

The grassland is an invisible battlefield.

Although the Jinjiang army and the barbarians have not moved their armies, the war has actually begun.

And the same is true in the court.

Under the clamor of King Zhongshun, the Jinjiang army was reported for rebellion. Although the capital did not know the situation, it did not dare to be negligent and ordered martial law.

The streets of Beijing are already quiet, and the night of spring is particularly gloomy and desolate.

There are soldiers between each square, and no pedestrians are allowed.

There are many merchants on the main street, and lanterns are hung outside the doors. The lights are dim and swaying under the eaves.

Under the dim light, you can see the martial law notices printed on woodblocks on the signs at the intersections of the streets.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, pedestrians were not allowed to walk around at night.

Later, there were too many banquets for officials, and the emperor ordered the merchants to hang lanterns on the door so that the officials could go home.

The dissatisfaction of the merchants is not mentioned, but it is convenient for the watchman.

The sound of clappers dissipated in the wind.

The refugees could not find a way out in Beijing, but the news was blocked, and there were more and more victims and beggars outside the walls of the capital.

It has already reached 10,000+ people. Because there is no place to take them in, many refugees have flooded into the capital and have not had time to be driven out in the future.

Sleeping under the eaves on both sides of the street, I don't know how many people lost their lives unknowingly under the severe winter cold.

Now the weather is starting to improve, but the civilian husbands in the capital are still transporting carloads of corpses to the barren slopes outside the city every day before dawn.

I escaped freezing to death, but I couldn't escape starvation or illness.

When the courtiers went to the court, they couldn't see the corpse, so they wouldn't go to court, and the capital government would not be held accountable.

Taking advantage of the court officials to go forward, transporting the corpses of the refugees out is probably the most important thing for Yi in the capital.

Therefore, the people in power are not aware of the death of the people, or should be regarded as ignorant.

With the cooperation of the soldiers and horses, the capital still concealed the scene of peace.

In those mansions close to the imperial city, singing and dancing were performed, using gongs, drums, silk bamboo, and ivory to clap the board and sing in a low voice.

Sometimes the singing is as thin as a strand of hair, which seems to exist and disappears, curling continuously, hovering on the exquisitely painted beams.

It drew applause from the people.

The mansion of Ningguo Mansion is so big that even the noise from the houses here cannot reach the streets.

Because of the martial law in the capital, the children of each family are not allowed to play and play, and they are not allowed to watch and listen to music.

How Jia Zhen can hold back her loneliness.

He came forward to organize, and the children of every family came to play with him.

These people are all hereditary sons, all of them have rich family backgrounds, and they are all young. They are just cockfighting and lackeys who ask Liu Pinghua a group of knight-errants and hakamas.

Therefore, everyone agreed to take turns being the host of dinner every day, so as not to disturb Jia Rong alone.

So the Ningguo Mansion slaughtered pigs and sheep every day, slaughtered geese and ducks, just like fighting treasures in Lintong, they had to show off their good cooks and cannons.

At night, I might wipe the dominoes, just bet on a drinker, openly roll the dice, start with the head, and start gambling at night.

The master's family is like this, and the servants have followed suit to make a fortune.

The children of the aristocratic family are generous, and the servants of the family benefit from it, and they wish to continue like this.

With such a corrupt atmosphere, the subordinates are tight-lipped, and outsiders don't know a word.

Mrs. Xing's younger brother, Xing Dequan, only knows how to drink and gamble, and enjoy sleeping in flowers and willows. As long as he says a few compliments, he will throw money wantonly, no matter who the other party is.

Those who like to drink call the other party a great talent, and those who don't drink with him don't get close.Both master and servant are treated equally, regardless of high or low, so they call him "silly uncle".

It turned out that there was another Silly Overlord, and the two made a pair of live treasures, but the Silly Overlord left the capital, leaving only Silly Uncle.

Those who eat wine eat wine, those who play cards gamble.

The child molesters who had finished singing, accompanied the people to drink and play cards, and served them.

"Although my uncle lost, what he lost was only money, and he didn't lose that thing. Why did you ignore him?"

In order to be jealous of child molestation, someone made a remark, which immediately elicited roars of laughter, and no one cared.

The vulgar, indecent, and wretched real face in private, but these people are all the ruling class of Da Zhou.

They sometimes find people pitiful, and often spend a lot of money.

These silver taels, which are insignificant to them, can enable the people who have received favors to have enough food and clothing, and gain the gratitude of the other party.

but.

There are more than [-] refugees outside the capital, and even more and more lucky ones finally heard the good news and rushed to Shandong.

However, refugees from all over the country came to the capital in an endless stream, which made the shantytowns outside the capital grow stronger and stronger.

No one cares about Jia Zhen, and with the merit of promoting Ping Liaohou, she has become more and more indulgent in recent years.

Although Ningguo Mansion is unbearable, Ningguo Mansion has power.

Chen Deyan had his way. Although the capital was under martial law, he still saw Jia Jing who practiced Taoism in the family temple built by the Ningguo Mansion outside.

Then he successively visited Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Jinxiang Hou Mansion, Shi Mansion, Wang Mansion and other honorable families.

With the efforts of Chen Deyan.

The nobles who are close to the Marquis of Heping Liao no longer worry about the situation in Jinjiang Town, whether it will really fall into a deadlock.

The memorials of King Zhongshun arrived in the capital, and the memorials of Shaanxi officials were sent to the capital one by one.

From the original concealment of peace to the current emergency call for help, the speed of the deterioration of the situation has made the courtiers look sideways.

The court finally began to face up to the demands of the people, and the people's uprising forced the court to pay attention.

Although the civil unrest was chaotic, the civil and military officials in Shaanxi were even more chaotic, the military households were corrupted, and there were no soldiers to control.

The emperor angrily recruited Liu Yiru and other ministers.

He has worked hard and worked extremely diligently since he took office, but why is it that one thing after another, everything can't be balanced.

Taxes in Shaanxi have not been reduced. After getting through the bad situation, we will start disaster relief and exempt the people from taxes. Everyone has to endure it.

But no one thought that the people were unwilling to suffer.

Everyone ignored the years of civil turmoil, which gradually affected the national situation, but King Zhongshun rushed to play, and the Jinjiang army rebelled.

After several days of martial law in the capital, Marquis Ping Liao sent another memorial, as well as officials from the original Liaodong capital.

"Ping Liaohou said that King Zhongshun slandered him, but did he send troops into Haizhou City?"

asked the emperor.

Liu Yiru sent someone to interrogate the officials released from Liaodong, so he stepped forward to answer.

"The Jinjiang army has indeed entered Haizhou."

"presumptuous."

The emperor was furious.

The memorabilia of Ping Liaohou in his hand was also thrown to the ground by him.

How is this different from rebellion?
"Since I came to power, Marquis Ping Liao has never returned to Beijing for his duties. I want to order him to return to Beijing and give him one last chance."

The emperor said bitterly.

Liu Yiru is in charge of major national affairs and shoulders great responsibilities, and dare not let the emperor do it rashly.

Jinjiang town is powerful, and it has become a tacit understanding that everyone knows to listen to the tune and not to listen to the announcement.

If it was a time when the country was strong, of course it would not be as Marquis Ping Liao wished, but now the country is in trouble and cannot suppress the other party.

However, King Zhongshun chose to provoke the opponent at this moment, and Liu Yiru was deeply dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Liu Yiru earnestly advised.

"The spread of civil unrest in Shaanxi must be stopped, otherwise it will become a serious disaster. Now consider the riots in Zhao'an.

With the majesty of the imperial court, it will definitely be successful, and then the people in various places will be distributed to solve the civil disturbance, which is a good time to deal with Jinjiang Town. "

The rest of the ministers agreed with Liu Yiru's remarks.

The country is not strong enough to deal with it at the same time, so it can only be dealt with one by one.Otherwise, even if Marquis Ping Liao is determined to have rebelled, what can the court do?

Could it be that in order to fight against Jinjiang Town, let the people riot?

After all, Liaodong is a border trouble, but the civil unrest in Shaanxi is different, so it should be clear which is more important.

Liaodong gave up, and the Great Zhou was still the Great Zhou.

And let the civil chaos grow, but do not eliminate it. There has been no policy since ancient times. I am afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger of subjugation.

This is common sense.

Although the emperor was angry, what he said just now was even more angry. After being appeased by the ministers, he calmed down.

I hate it more and more.

The rebellious people are not loyal to the king, and the Marquis of Ping Liao is not loyal to the king, otherwise there will be no such harm.

really.

In a few days, just as Chen Deyan told everyone, the court actually reprimanded King Zhongshun and appeased Marquis Pingliao.

Since he chose to appease Ping Liaohou, the Haizhou incident was not a rebellion.

Jia Yucun, who was in the prison, was released smoothly because of the relationship of the Jia family, and the grade was preserved, but Liaodong could not go back.

Jia Yucun, who left the prison, was not only not happy, but frowned and thought hard, not because he had lost his real job.

At the pier in Fushun back then, he was flustered and didn't know his future, but Marquis Ping Liao's expression didn't change at all.

Where does his confidence come from?

Now, as he said, he is fine, so how did he expect it?

Could it be that he has been paying attention to the domestic civil unrest early in the morning, so he received the news early and made arrangements?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Jia Yucun became.

Ping Liaohou asked him to go to Fujian, so why?
The matter was unclear, Jia Yucun couldn't figure it out, and he didn't go out for a few days, guessing the real intention of Marquis Pingliao.

Is Jin Jiangzhen rebelling?

It's hard to tell.

As the person involved, Jia Yucun can see it more clearly than people in China.

Although Marquis Ping Liao kept talking about loyalty, did he really have the court in his eyes?
Various thoughts were analyzed in his mind, and Jia Yucun began to worry about the marriage of his daughter and Ping Liaohou's younger brother.

He is not afraid of Jinjiang Town's tail, but he is afraid of Jinjiang Town's rebellion.
