Chapter 90 Changes in the Situation

Yu Xiaotian took a break, took a sip of water and then said, "Sun Yuanhua is missing. Now the government and the opposition are in trouble. Some people speculate that Sun Yuanhua may have been mistakenly attacked and killed by the rebels. Some people say that Sun Yuanhua is afraid of crime and absconded. In short, many people have their own opinions. Now Sun Yuanhua's disappearance has muddyed the water.

Although it seems that the wind in the DPRK is still dominated by the master, I dare to conclude that this time the court will finally have the master's suppression to suppress the rebels in the end! Sun Yuanhua's disappearance can be said to have sent a truth to the Lord, which can speed up the final determination of the emperor today.

Next, we will wait for the news. If it doesn't come as expected, I guess the court will think of me to someone this time! Let the brothers strengthen their training and get ready to set off. Now it's March, the sea ice will melt soon, and the channel is expected to open soon.

Therefore, send more ships to transport the refugees accumulated in Xishan Village this winter at full speed. In addition, we should prepare to strengthen the defense force on the sea area of Yangma Island in Xishan Village, and order the warships operating around Jiaozhou Bay to patrol the Yangma Island area immediately after the channel is opened, and the rebels are not allowed to fight. The boat took the waterway and attacked Yangma Island.

"Students are obeying, and we will go down to arrange it immediately! Lord, please rest assured!" Lin Yiyang is now in front of Xiaotian, and he no longer has the previous arrogance and becomes respectful.

The news of Sun Yuanhua's disappearance did cause an uproar among the capital. The government and the opposition were discussing whether Sun Yuanhua was killed by bandits on the way back to the capital after being released, or because of fear of returning to Beijing, the court held him accountable and fled in secret.

No one can confirm this matter, especially in such a messy situation, and no one can confirm it. In troubled times, several people evaporated from the world, which is nothing at all, and no one knows where Sun Yuanhua disappeared after being released from Dengzhou.

So this matter is quite unfavorable to Xu Guangqi and other masters. It turned out that they thought that the traitor would be forced to choose a mutiny. In fact, this matter has been decided, and it was confirmed at that time that it was caused by the rebels robbing a chicken from Wang Xiangchun's servant.

The rebels robbed chickens because of the county people of Wuqiao County*, which made the rebels unable to buy food and fill their stomachs, so some people impeached Wang Xiangchun and Wuqiao County.

Of course, there is also a group of people who suppress it. The people who suppress it are not completely for the country, but purely want to use this matter to disgust those Donglin Party members who care about the faction.

Only before that, the main suppressing party did not have an advantage. The main suppressing party was powerful and always controlled the voice in the court. However, Sun Yuanhua's disappearance and the main suppressing faction finally found an opportunity, although no one knew what happened to Sun Yuanhua, which led to his disappearance.

However, it was precisely because no one knew what happened to Sun Yuanhua that the main suppression grabbed the handle. These people insisted that Sun Yuanhua was afraid of crime and absconded. Although they didn't have any evidence, they just guessed out of thin air, what made the people on the main side unable to fight back was that they said that Sun Yuanhua did not abscond. But there is no evidence to prove it.

It happened that the rebels conquered Zhaoyuan one after another, slaughtered the city for three days, and then broke through Pingdu Prefecture, which also created countless bloody cases.

Seeing that the rebel forces are getting stronger and bigger, including Dongjiang Town, many Dongjiang troops also followed. The north and the south echoed each other and made a mess. However, in the court, they are still arguing about whether to suppress or to be touched. If it goes on like this, the rebel army will develop more unscrupulous. I'm so that the development of the situation may be even more difficult to control.

And at present, it seems that the rebels will definitely not let Laizhou City go. It is only a matter of time before they attack Laizhou. Sure enough, in early March, after the rebels made peace between Lian Keyuan, Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde once again gathered tens of thousands of rebels, arrived under Laizhou City, began to surround Laizhou City, and launched a fierce attack on Laizhou.

Xu Congzhi, the new governor of Shandong, and Zhu Wannian, the governor of Laizhou, sent people to ask for help from the court again, and led the defenders of Laizhou. They fought fiercely with the rebels under the city of Laizhou.

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen finally made up his mind and finally decided to adopt a strategy to suppress the rebels and no longer consider the problem of appeasement.

Because Chongzhen now seems that the rebels are so powerful this time. If they still touch them, it will undoubtedly have a very bad impact and may even become a very bad example. In the future, if those arrogant and tough generals are slightly dissatisfied, they will often launch mutiny to make a big deal of the matter, and then expect the imperial court to recruit. If there is nothing to do, who won't do this in the future?

In this way, isn't it more chaotic to have rotten state affairs? This incident also made Emperor Chongzhen have an opinion on those who were the master of the cares, scolded the first assistant Zhou Yanru and others in court, and completely suppressed the voice of the master's cares.

In addition, for Zhang Yu, Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng and others who were released by the rebels and fled back to the capital, Chongzhen issued an order to arrest them all and put them in prison.

It has been almost half a year since the court rebelled from the rebels to finally determined to suppress it, which undoubtedly provided considerable convenience for the rebels to sit down.

Since it has decided to suppress it, the court naturally began to consider where the troops should be transferred to Denglai to suppress the rebels. At present, there are not many troops available in the court. Although Denglai is not far from Guanliao, the border troops around Guanjin are still quite combative.

It turned out that Tianjin Wei and Baoding also had some soldiers and horses, but in the first month, these soldiers and horses have been defeated and lost by the rebels in Huang County. There are also some Shandong soldiers, but the performance of Shandong soldiers during this period is really disappointing. Shandong's soldiers and horses have been defeated by the rebels repeatedly and have never fought. Victory.

If you want to win the battle, I'm afraid that there is only one battle in Mouping County, Ninghai Prefecture. It is the only highlight in the Shandong area after the rebels rebelled in the past few months. Only here blocked the rebels and killed more than a thousand rebels, forcing the rebels to eventually have to withdraw their troops.

For this reason, Chongzhen felt a little relief, and also remembered the name of Zhao Hongzhi, a magistration of Ninghai Prefecture. He deeply felt that under the chaos again, this person could lead a city of soldiers and civilians and resist the rebels. In fact, he was indeed a talent. As long as he turned back to verify that the heads of the rebels who had been captured were true, then this matter would not be false, then this person It can be reused.

When the court decided to take the main strategy, the officials in the court were arguing about where to call the generals and enter Denglai to suppress the rebels.

Some people suggested that the elite Ming army outside the customs be transferred to enter the customs to enter and suppress, while others proposed to gather the northern officials and soldiers to enter the suppress, but suddenly many people proposed to transfer Fujian officers and soldiers to enter and suppress.

This proposal suddenly aroused the interest of many people, so many people remembered all kinds of successes from Fujian from time to time in recent years. Speaking of Fujian, the performance over the years is really unique in all parts of the Ming Dynasty. Although Fujian has also suffered a century-old drought, it has also caused trouble. The civil war, but Fujian quickly suppressed the chaos.

Even did not reach out for the imperial court for a tael of silver relief, nor did it pay much extra taxes to the imperial court. In recent years, there have been many mountain thieves and bandits in Fujian, but every time there is such a chaos, they will soon be extinguished by Fujian officials and soldiers. Fujian officials and soldiers have swept away the decline in the year of the Apocalypse. In recent years, It's quite good now.

This can't help but remind people of General Qi Jiguang, who tried to suppress Japanese pirates in Fujian in his early years. For so many years, Fujian has never had such a stable situation.

As early as during the Apocalypse, everyone knew that the coastal area of Fujian was unstable and full of pirates. They attacked and harassed the prefectures and counties near the sea. The people's wealth and human lives were quite damaged. There was only one sea wolf alone. Two governors of Fujian sent troops to suppress it, but they were finally defeated by them and killed two governors of Fujian.

Only after this Fujian governor took office and the master recruited him, Fujian became stable.

In recent years, the reason why Fujian has become so peaceful should also be due to Yu Xiaotian, the former pirate leader who was recruited.

Since Zhao'an, according to Xiong Wencan, this person has been loyal to his duties, abide by his duties, and must be heard that the police must come out. He not only on the sea, but also repeatedly wiped out a group of pirates, but also a Pingjing along the coast of Fujian. Moreover, he has also made great achievements in suppressing bandits on land. He has repeatedly defeated large bandits with fewer victories. Over the years, he has led or At least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command were beheaded, and the bandits from all over Fujian who repeatedly made remarkable achievements and shocked them did not dare to move, making Fujian a rare Pingjing for decades.

In recent years, the situation of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be getting worse. The more and more chaotic civilian troops in Shaanxi have been suppressing, and they have swept through the whole Shaanxi, as well as more than half of Shanxi. At present, they have broken into Henan, and even spread to Zhili in the north and south, Huguang and other places. There is a great tendency to start a prairie fire.

The court mobilized a number of officers and troops to suppress it. Although it also had victories, it had more losses. The more the people in the chaos was suppressing, there was no tendency to restrain it. Although the previous Yang He was slightly effective at the beginning, the chaotic people's army stroked it and then reversed. Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, arrested Yang He and finally abandoned the city (killed).

Now, as the court ordered Hong Chengchou to preside over the attack, but no one dares to guarantee whether it can succeed. After all, everyone knows in private that the roots of the unrest are. At present, Daming's finances are empty, and soldiers are used everywhere. There are construction slaves in Liaodong who are coveting the customs day and night, and the Central Plains has turned into civilian armies into disasters. In the south And the luxury chaos has not yet been calmed down, and now Denglai has made such a mess again.

and the remnants of the white lotus religion and other cults are now ready to move again, and there is a tendency to resurate. The court is worried about the lack of food and salary every day.

As a last resort, the court had to continuously increase the number of salary, suppress salary, Liao and other additional factions, but in the past few years, there has been a severe drought in the north, and the officials have become more popular, followed by all kinds of salary, and the carnival to accumulate wealth.

Even in Guangdong, there are also civil changes that occur from time to time, and there are also chaotic people in Jiangxi. In recent years, Nanzhili and Zhejiang have been either earthquakes or floods, and the victims have also made a lot of noise.

At present, the imperial court can be said to have a headache, and the doctor's head and feet are painful. However, only Fujian Province has performed very well in recent years. There has been no major chaos. If there is a slight sign of chaos, it will be destroyed and suppressed by Fujian officials and soldiers in one fell swoop.
