False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 28 Qiao Yingjia Hides the Truth

Qiao Yingjia is also from Wei Zhongxian's family.To be precise, it should be Cui Chengxiu's person.

"This matter cannot be reported to the imperial court. If such a big matter happens, the imperial court will pursue it. If the imperial court investigates it, it will range from loss of office to imprisonment. Now Jiuqian is committed to improving relations with the new emperor. In this matter, he will definitely not take sides. My own people. Instead, under the pressure of the party members in the Middle East, they will kill Ma Di with tears. It is better to suppress it first, and then send troops to suppress it secretly. But this matter needs to be reported to Lord Cui Chengxiu in secret. Beware of anyone secretly reporting to the court.” Qiao Yingjia’s Staff member Ding Jilu offered advice.

"Mr. Ding's plan is very clever. It should be so." Qiao Yingjia nodded.

Qiao Yingjia immediately wrote a letter, and after packing it, handed it to a man in a green suit beside him: "Go to Kyoto quickly, and hand this letter to Master Cui Chengxiu in person." It is impossible for Qiao Yingjia to let someone just send it letter, with a gift slip attached.In this era of inconvenient transportation, it is naturally time-consuming to deliver gifts, so such urgent superstitions cannot be delivered together with gifts.Therefore, send the secret letter and gift list first.

After Qiao Yingjia finished this matter, he secretly dispatched troops to Baishui County to suppress the rebellion.

After Wang Er and Zhong Guangdao captured Baishui, they opened warehouses to release grain.In the past few days, the hungry people around Baishui County have gone to Baishui.But after eating the food released by the rebels, he became a bandit.In the future, when the officers and soldiers come, they will inevitably die.Even if you are a resident of Baishui County, no matter whether you distribute food or not, when the time comes, the army will not end well.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a well-known general Zuo Liangyu, who was not good at fighting, but he was very capable of killing good men and pretending to be bandits. Everywhere he went, he was basically empty, even more Tartars than Tartars.Even the other Ming armies were not much better off.

If Baishui rebelled and fell, all the people in Baishui County would be charged with rebellion.Once the officers and soldiers come, the result will naturally not be good.

Wang Er is a man, and he had already thought of this before the incident, so when he opened the warehouse to release grain, he was also very generous. As long as someone came, he could take as much as he could.Anyway, he couldn't take these things with him when he left.

"Everyone, everybody." Taking advantage of the early morning, Wang Er gathered the hungry people who had gathered everywhere.

Wang Er's subordinates immediately took up sticks to maintain order, "Quiet! Quiet! Don't speak! Listen to the boss!"

"Everyone, I was originally an honest farmer. If I hadn't been forced to do so, who would want to do this thing of exterminating the nine clans?" Wang Er said.

"Yes! There is really no way out!" Wang Er's words resonated with many hungry people.

"But God won't give us a way to survive, and the dignitaries won't give us a way to survive. The food crops are cut off, and the government not only refuses to provide relief, but also increases taxes. This is to force us to a dead end. Now, we rioted and killed the dog officer, Grabbing food, but it is another disaster. Disaster is imminent! Everyone, the government will definitely send troops to suppress it. Everyone present has a share, and those who have eaten the food have a share, and those who have not eaten the food will not be able to escape." Wang Er said.

"Then what should I do? I don't want to die yet! I am old at the top and young at the bottom. I can't live anymore!"

These hungry people didn't think deeply at first, they all had a herd mentality, thinking that if everyone came to grab food, it must be fine.But now hearing what Wang Eryi said, he panicked.

"Everyone, don't panic, listen to me!" Wang Er and everyone else quieted down, and then said: "For the present plan, we can only survive if we hug each other! I, Wang Er, am not talented, but I can't bear my father and my fellow countrymen. They lost their lives in vain, and are willing to lead everyone to fight the government."

"Okay! We are willing to obey the orders of the leader of the king!"

"Only the head of the king will follow the lead!"

Driven by the manpower arranged by Wang Er, everyone supported Wang Er as the leader.

"Okay! Since everyone can trust me, Wang Er, then I, Wang Er, will definitely lead everyone to fight for a way out. Listen up, everyone. The officers and soldiers will press hard on Baishui County in a few days. With our current combat power, it must not be the case. The opponent of the official army. Only by retreating to the north of the Luohe River can there be a glimmer of life.

To the north of the Luohe River are endless mountains with dense forests. Once they retreat to this area, they can use the mountains to hide and avoid the encirclement and suppression of the government army.The army that the government can deploy is limited, so it is naturally impossible to wipe out the rebels hiding in the mountains.And at this time in the Ming Dynasty, it was not difficult to suppress the rebels.As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass go first.This era is a military recruitment system, and it is very serious to default on the payment of soldiers, but when sending troops, they must be paid, otherwise it is easy to cause disease.In this way, sending troops has become a very difficult thing.

"Okay! But listen to the command of the leader!"

Wang Er and Zhong Guangdao led the rebels to pack the grain and grass from the granary in Baishui County and fled to the north of Luoshui.By the time the officers and soldiers arrived in Baishui County, the houses in Baishui County had already been deserted.There are still a lot of Baishui civilians staying in the county.Sure enough, the officers and soldiers did not restrain the soldiers, and a looting started in Baishui County.Looting and prostitution can be seen everywhere, and headless corpses of civilians can be seen everywhere.The heads were all chopped off by the officers and soldiers.

But the real rebels built a cottage in the forests around Luobei without incident, and fell into the mountains and became bandits. Since a large amount of grain and grass were transported from the Baishui granary, they didn't have to worry about the food problem for a while.

Wang Er and Zhong Guangdao are also very foresighted people. After building the cottage, they even started to train soldiers indiscriminately.

Qiao Yingjia learned that the gangsters had escaped, but Baishui County was restored, and she felt all the hidden worries in her heart, but her mood improved a lot.

Qiao's mansion was filled with joy.

"Congratulations, my lord. Congratulations to my lord. Even if the court finds out about the recovery of Baishui this time, not only did it not happen, but it has merit." Ding Jilu raised his glass to congratulate Qiao Yingjia.

"The success of this event was entirely due to Mr. Ding's advice. Although Baishui County was restored, the rebel still escaped." Qiao Yingjia said.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. Although the rebels entered the Luobei mountains, although it is difficult to destroy them, it is also difficult to achieve great results. It is just that there is an extra group of bandits. It is difficult to become a climate. You only need to garrison a part of Baishui, and you will be able to do it." Let these bandits be trapped in the mountainous area." Ding Qilu said.

"Mr. Ding is right. He stationed three thousand troops in Baishui County to suppress bandits." Qiao Yingjia said.

However, Qiao Yingjia didn't know that although the rebellion in Baishui County had been quelled, the impact of the civil uprising in Baishui County spread throughout Guanzhong.

Civil uprisings occurred successively in Baishui, Hancheng, Pucheng, Yijun, Luochuan and other places.These insurgents all gathered in Luobei.The number of Wang's second tribe suddenly increased to several thousand.There were tens of thousands of people accompanying him.
