When Qiu Yue entered the city, he also sent someone to deliver a message to Wang Shouren. Only when the Guyuan Army and Shuofang Army arrived, would it be truly safe to put down the rebellion.And Wang Shouren and Wang Tingxiang felt a little self-deprecating when they learned that the town had been broken and the palace had been taken by Jin Yiwei.

Originally, I was thinking about how to grab the credit, but I didn't expect the emperor to be one step ahead.

Zhang Cong let out a sigh of relief. The rebellion of King Anhua was quite shocking, but fortunately, it was successfully wiped out within just seven days.

"Zhongcheng and Butang sent out the memorial to the imperial court six days ago, and they still have to go [-] miles in a hurry. Now that the rebels have been wiped out, they should report to His Majesty in time to avoid worrying the court and the public."

"Okay." Wang Tingxiang had no objection, "Let Zhang Yushi write the pen and sign it with Brother Bo'an."

Wang Shouren had no other opinions, but he considered more comprehensively and thoughtfully: "This kind of thing happened. Should we continue to clean up the pastures and military settlements in Ningxia, and should we also report to the court?"

In fact, Wang Shouren should not ask this question, strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Cong was somewhat surprised when he said this, but with Wang Bo'an's mind, he definitely wouldn't fail to understand the truth.

"Yes." Zhang Cong still nodded. For him, this is his main responsibility. "The lower official is still thinking about it. The matter of countering the rebellion is as good as it is. The key is to clean up the army. The lower official thinks Well, His Majesty's original intention was definitely not to force the border town to rebel. However, King An rebelled, and the world was shaken. Whether His Majesty and the adults in the court will change their course... I am really not sure about this. This memorandum is not good. wrote."

Yes, this is the crux.

Both Wang Tingxiang and Wang Shouren nodded, and their eyes showed a look of admiration for Zhang Cong. This person who was originally only a magistrate, is still clear-headed before major events, which is not something that can be done just by talking.

After all, this was a feudal prince's rebellion, even for the Zhu family who liked to do such things, it was extremely unusual.

At least the emperor's face can't be held up.So if this kind of thing happens, the court elders and ministers will tend to play it safe if they are not sure, and even the emperor will have this kind of mentality.

That's why Zhang Cong hated it. That stupid vassal had no influence in the military, but the troubles in politics were great.

Now, Zhang Cong has to face a gamble, and the bet is his political career.

Because some of the ministers will definitely voice objections. If the emperor's mind is still to continue to implement, then the memorials they handed over must meet this point. Only in this way can the emperor push the boat smoothly.

Otherwise, those who dealt with it would say that things cannot be done, and this is making it difficult for the emperor by their own people.

The problem is, if the emperor also changed his mind, they still said to continue to implement it, which is also out of date.

So being an official is not so easy.

However, what Zhang Cong didn't expect was that he met two good officials.

Wang Shouren and Wang Tingxiang didn't want to treat him well, but cared about cleaning up the military settlements.

So Wang Ting agreed to join the memorial, and Wang Shouren agreed to write about the cleanup of the military settlements.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with them, but they have the same opinion.

"It must be written, and the emperor must be advised to continue to carry it out!" Wang Shouren said firmly: "The military colony has invaded and occupied too much, causing the guards to be ruined, and there are few soldiers to fight. A rebellion by King An will make this matter collapse, but when will the Ming Dynasty come?" How can we get rid of this evil?!"

Wang Tingxiang was even more ruthless, "Since ancient times, Qingzhang's farmland has been full of people. I only want to do it smoothly without killing people. I have never seen a similar thing. Therefore, this official also believes that the military village is completely cleaned up. It cannot be stopped. Otherwise, how can there be signs of renewal in Ningxia?"

These two people can be said to be powerful figures in the Northwest of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Cong has stayed in Beijing and Huai'an Mansion, but he has never seen officials like Wang Tingxiang and Wang Shouren in the mainland. In the past, they were nothing. They had no ambitions and were full of greed.

But in this moment, he felt something resonate with the two men.

Whether it is the governor of Shaanxi or the governor of Hetao, they can find a way to get rid of this matter, but they didn't.

This is not only to help Zhang Cong in real politics, but also to shock him on the level of ideal spirit.

Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. There are such people in the world!

Zhang Cong bowed to the two of them very solemnly, "Mr. Bo'an and Mr. Ziheng's high righteousness, I will only know today!"

"Don't praise us anymore, you Zhang Bingyong (Zhang Cong's word) fought against corrupt officials and protected the people in Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture, and you were imprisoned but could not change your ambitions. If you talk about high righteousness, there are people like you in the world. "Wang Shouren said with a smile.

Life is hard to know yourself.

The three of them suddenly began to cherish each other.

Originally, Wang Tingxiang wanted to grab the credit, but Jin Yiwei took the lead, so he had nothing to say.

In any case, the matter is settled safely, and the emperor will not lose the benefits of any of them.

Thinking about it carefully, among the three of them, which one was not specially recruited and appointed by the emperor.

This is a moment of historical significance—three ministers who wanted to do something reliable gathered in the northwest of Ming Dynasty at the same time, and they were all trusted by the current emperor.

"The next official is here to prepare a memorial! Report the victory to the emperor!"

……

Wang Shouren's thoughts were brought back to the 12th year of Hongzhi by the sunset in the sky. At that time, he had just won the Jinshi. Because he followed Wang Yue to the northwest and saw the encroachment of the military settlements with his own eyes, he went to Shuren in a daze.

But at that time, the prince's treatment of him was to relegate him to Longchang, Guizhou.

Ten years passed, and by this time he finally understood.

The emperor actually knew everything, he was just waiting for the opportunity.

So Zhang Cong felt that it was risky to continue suggesting to clean up the military settlements, but Wang Shouren knew it was absolutely not.

Because he knows the current Emperor Zhengde better.

At the same time, Wang Shouren also secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would definitely assist the emperor to complete this matter. If Ningxia rebelled, he would send troops out of Ningxia, and if Yulin rebelled, he would send troops out of Yulin.

After ten years of sharpening a sword, he and his soldiers are the sword sharpened by the emperor.

Now, Ningxia is just the beginning.

……

In the town, with the arrival of Shaanxi governor Wang Tingxiang, the original chaos gradually dissipated. Once the backbone of the government arrived, the work of stabilizing the order in the city could be carried out smoothly.

Out of curiosity, the three of them went to meet King Anhua who had been imprisoned in the prison.

A day or two passed, and King Anhua gradually realized the reality, and then his previous arrogance quickly dissipated, and he became like a decadent mute, not even speaking.

The property occupied by the palace was found out, fields, silver taels, gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings... This greedy prince seized millions of taels of wealth.

"Let Jin Yiwei send the capital to the capital."

This decision is final.

On the second day, that is, the ninth day of September, under the auspices of the governor Wang Tingxiang, the government posted an Announcement for the People: [-]. The king of Anhua gathered a crowd to conspire against him. The people who have nothing to do with the case are innocent, as long as they keep their own place, the officers and soldiers will not commit any crimes; [-]. September [-]st is the day set by the government to withdraw from the army. Today, An Ni has been put to death, and the date of returning to the field has been postponed to September [-]th. Those who fail to retreat after the deadline will be regarded as resisting the decree and shall be executed; Fourth, the people and merchants in the city need to maintain order, and anyone who commits crimes will be severely punished.

The former commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town were all dead. At this special moment, Wang Tingxiang could only take part. Many generals and soldiers in Ningxia Weizhong were involved in the crime of treason. Definitely beheaded.

However, if it involves military affairs, there is no need to inform the people.

Neither the Shuofang Army nor the Guyuan Army left immediately, but assisted the government in dealing with the aftermath.

There used to be seven guards in Ningxia Town, but the Jinglu Guards were far away and would not be affected.The remaining six guards: Ningxia Guard, Ningxia Front, Center, and Back Guards, Ningxia Left and Right Guards, all have different numbers of rebels.

Needless to say, they must have been arrested. It turns out that the more than 1 soldiers and horses that King Anhua pulled up were killed a lot and ran away. .

Wang Tingxiang chose to disrupt all the guards in order to stabilize the situation, and re-organized three new guards in Ningxia Township, Ningxia Wei, Ningxia Qianwei, and Ningxia Defender. The remaining three guards have numbers, but The number of people is not enough.How to deal with it will only be determined after the imperial court is presented.

The rebellion was initially decided, and there were many affairs.

Because of the killing of many people, millions of acres of land were suddenly created.

As long as the imperial court agrees to the memorandum they uploaded, Ningxia Town can re-divide the military settlements on the basis of the newly compiled three guards.

The so-called breaking and then erecting is like this.

It's just that after the war, there are always people who have broken their homes.

Seeing this, Wang Shouren was moved. He went to Wang Tingxiang and said, "Brother Ziheng, the Hetao area is vast and sparsely populated. After the war, many people suffered. I want to absorb some people in the city and take them to Shuofang. In this way, the pressure on Brother Heng will be reduced, and Hetao Reclamation can help more."

Reclamation of the Loop is also a government matter that the court and His Majesty attach great importance to.

"How many people will Brother Bo'an bring?"

Wang Shouren didn't pretend to be thin-skinned, "Of course I can bring as much as I can, and it's not in vain for Shuofang's army to come here."

"How much can you bring?" Wang Tingxiang was stunned, how rich he is, "The army is moving out food and grass. So many people are brought back, and the ration is not a small number. Brother Bo'an has made a fortune."

"Haha, Brother Ziheng was joking. It's not the prince who made his fortune, but the emperor. The emperor has worked so hard to regain the Hetao because it is a real fortress in the south of the Yangtze River."

Wang Tingxiang had some longing in his heart.

As for the matter of absorbing the people, he agrees.Both public and private are a good thing, and there is no reason not to agree.As for the emperor... He and Wang Shouren are both high-ranking officials. Some things can be decided by themselves. It is not necessary to report major and minor matters to the emperor. The capital is so far away that many things are too late. It all depends on the magistrate himself make a decision.

The two chatted happily, and not long after, someone asked to see him.

A soldier came in outside, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "Zhongcheng, there is also Prince Qing who has been complaining in prison, saying that he was coerced by An Ni. I don't know how to deal with this person?"
