Chapter 355 Take it lightly

Chapter 35 (Xie Yeshuo, I hope the monthly tickets of the two brothers.)

Song Nan learned the news of Wen'an* at the first time. As the head of the Jinyiwei government, tens of thousands of Jinyiwei horses were scattered all over the Ming Dynasty. The daily news gathered into the capital like snowflakes. Slowly speaking, it is said that the territory of Bazhou, which is only hundreds of miles away from the capital, is the southwest northwest border thousands of miles away. The Ministry's messaging system can also transmit information within a few days.

At the beginning, Song Nan did not pay attention to this news. Jinyi Wei Yamen received thousands of intelligence messages from various places every day, and it was not surprising that there was information about civil unrest, drought and flood, banditry and other aspects almost every day. In recent months, there has been more and more news about civil unrest in various places, which is quite overwhelming. Song Nan's focus is not on * itself, but on the cause of its occurrence.

Along with the information, there is also the information of the head of the thief. Although there is no Jinyiwei Yamen in Wen'an County, there is a Jinyiwei Qianhu government office in Bazhou, which is not far away. It also belongs to the Jinyiwei Flag School with more than 1,000 people. Every day, hundreds of flag schools run to the Zuojin County to detect intelligence, and Wen'an County is naturally also in its Medium.

Jinyiwei has long had systematic statistics on officials in the jurisdiction, leading figures in various industries, and even ruffians on the ground. As long as they know their gender names, they can know their approximate information.

"Liu Liu, his real name is Liu Chong, Liu Qi, his real name is Liu Chen, all from Liu Zhuang in the east of Wen'an County. They have learned martial arts since childhood, are good at archery, and are brave. His father gave birth to seven sons and one daughter, leaving only Liu Chong, two sons and young daughter Liu Yuerong. In recent years, he was a bandit because the exiles abandoned the fields and ran away. The Bazhou government ordered the counties to rectify and clean up, and arrested the exiles to return to the fields and cultivate. Because of the bravery of the Liu brothers, Wen'an County hired dozens of people as reward catchers. Running through the high mountains and trees in the county, the robbers and exiles were arrested.

In a short description of the two brothers Liu Liu and Liuqi, Song Nan basically understood who the two rebellious brothers were. It turned out that the two brothers were also civilians, but because they had some kung fu and were usually a little famous in the countryside, so he was hired by the government as a bounty hunter. The arrest of bandits and exiles who left the land in Wen'an County and surrounding counties.

But Song Nan is a little confused. Since Liu Liu and Liu seven brothers are bounty hunters organized by the government, they actually belong to the category of officers and soldiers. They should have a close relationship with the government. How can they suddenly become the leader of the moll and rebel? It's really puzzling.

Song Nan did not intend to delve into the root cause. Over the past few months, the summary of news from all over the world has increasingly turned a worry in Song Nan's heart into reality. In the past two months after the implementation of Liu Jin's new policy, the number of mob rebellions has increased several times, which is obviously a little unusual. To say that all this has nothing to do with Liu Jin's new policy, Song Nan has nothing On how to disbelieve. That policy has forced many people on the verge of bankruptcy to death. It is better for them to escape from the land and even go to beg for food than to work for a year and finally owe a large debt to their owners.

In order to prevent the people from fleeing, Liu Jin also ordered to adopt this practice in Wen'an County, sending people as catchers to arrest the fleeing people back. It can be imagined how the contradictions were triggered.

Originally, mob chaos was bound at a huge cost. Everyone knows that once there is chaos, there is basically no way out, and there is no way to kill after being eliminated. However, at such a huge cost, it is still * frequent, obviously because there is no livelihood and the left and right are dead, so they take risks.

For future generations, the mass base is really good. If you don't rebel, you won't have such a good opportunity. Many barren state governments are devastated, like dry grass. A little fire can ignite the field. It's scary to think about it.

Although Song Nan can come to this conclusion, he can't prove that all this is related to Liu Jin's new policy, which is not something that can be said casually. Once this matter is connected with the new policy, he and Liu Jin will have no way out, which must be a life-and-death situation. Under the current situation, he still has not enough to say. He persuaded Zhengde to stand on his side.

The second wave of news from Wen'an was also learned by Song Nan that night. When she knew that more than 100 officers and soldiers had been destroyed, Song Nan realized that this was no longer what ordinary mob dared to do. Generally speaking, the people in a certain place are in chaos. Once the officers and soldiers arrive, the mob will suddenly disperse. They just want to grab or kill a few rich and unkind big families, and dare to openly ambush and destroy hundreds of officers and soldiers. This is an organized revolt.

Late night, the lights in front of the Fengtian Hall are full of shadows, and the wind lamps hang high on the high poles in the square in front of the hall. The civil and military officials stand in front of the hall one by one, waiting for the emergency court meeting. Some people pull flags to rebel, which is the biggest thing of this dynasty. As a court official, everyone is also angry with fear and shame. .

Several little eunuchs tried their best to push open the heavy hall door, and the door as thick as two feet high rubbed against the door mortar to make a dull and harsh rubbing sound, which made people's tongue sour and irritable.

Hundreds of huge candles in the hall have been lit, and the ministers found that the emperor had already sat on the dragon throne, with a pale face under the candlelight, holding his cheeks in a daze. After the crowd entered the hall to pay a visit, Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, first introduced the latest news from the Ministry of War. Although he did not care much about the attack of the officers and soldiers, he still expressed self-blame out of some psychology.

Before Zhengde spoke, Liu Jin spoke first: "Lord Liu, this is not the time to blame yourself. Now is time to take countermeasures. The emperor is anxious about this matter."

Liu Daxia said with a blank face: "The Ministry of War has sent a member of the chief officer to sit in the town to check, and ordered Chen Wei, the commander of Bazhouwei, to pay attention to it. The emperor can relax his mind. The thieves are just a mob, and it was also taken by Bazhouwei to take it lightly before. In fact, it is nothing special."

Liu Jin said, "If such a big thing has happened, the Bazhou Guard only sent 100 officers and soldiers to get such a result. Doesn't this make the thieves even more arrogant? Lord Liu can't be negligent anymore. In recent months, there has been a lot of turbulence in various places, and I don't know what to eat. Every year, the military expenditure is millions of taels. It can't even be done at home. It's really a shameful that the officers and soldiers were annihilated by the people of the chaos.

Liu Daxia frowned and said, "Mr. Liu, it's better to make less comments on military affairs. Bazhouwei is just an unintentional mistake. Victory or defeat is common. What's the shame? Haven't the people in various places been disturbed for months, and they have been crushed? In fact, I'm not worried at all. I just feel that I need to inform the emperor and your adults about the response of the Ministry of War. In fact, this matter should not have been so exciting. Why should I be as panicked like a bird?

Liu Jin was choked and opened his mouth and was speechless. Zhengde looked a little better after listening to Liu Daxia's words and said in a hoarse voice, "What does Liu Shangshu mean is not to worry about?"

Liu Daxia said, "The emperor is relieved. Why worry about hundreds of moths? It will calm down in a few days.

Zhengde breathed a sigh, and his expression became relaxed. Seeing that Liu Daxia didn't care, the ministers also calmed down and felt that their nerves were a little too tense. Originally, they planned to mobilization the surrounding soldiers and horses to eliminate them, but now it seems that there is no need to do so.

In a relieved buzz, someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Wen'an thieves look like ordinary mob. I feel that the court should not take it lightly and send important personnel to quickly to quickly eliminate them, so as not to let the thieves get out of control."

Everyone looked at it in consternation, but saw that the speaker was Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Liu Daxia said dissatisfiedly, "Lord Song, I have said that the military department has its own response, and there is no need to make a fuss."

Song Nan said, "Liu Shangshu, I think the thieves are fierce this time, and they are by no means a mob. Moreover, if they are not extinguished in time, it is inevitable that the civilians in the surrounding counties will be trapped. In the past*, the officers and soldiers dispersed before the mob came to the mob. This time, they will not disperse, but will set up an ambush the officers and soldiers and do not go to go to Wen'an County. Can't you explain the problem?"

Liu Daxia laughed and said, "Lord Song is going to teach me how to do things. I admit that Lord Song has some tricks, but you don't have to look at others as fools. Please don't mess up ideas about things under the jurisdiction of our military department.

Song Nan frowned and said, "I'm just a reminder that I'm not the head of your military department. Why does Liu Shangshu overreact? It's better to deal with the civil unhistance, whether it's small or big or big. It's always be careful to deal with it. Lord Liu, all the more than 1,000 horses in Jinyiwei, Bazhou, can be used. If you need assistance, Lord Liu, just say hello.

Liu Daxia laughed and said, "Why do I think Lord Song is so active? It turned out that he was thinking."

Song Nan was stunned and said, "What did I have in mind?"

Liu Daxia shook her head and smiled and said no. Some of the ministers made a sound of whispering and shook their heads at Song Nan's guidance. Song Nan was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that she wanted to help Liu Daxia with good intentions, but she was mistakenly thought that she wanted to mobilize Jinyi Weiti to rob the credit. Looking at the expressions of some of the ministers, she must also think that she was going to insert a pole in The suppression of bandits is a piece of the pie.

Song Nan sighed in her heart and had to arch her hand and said, "Well, in this case, it's convenient for me to talk too much. In short, I want to remind Lord Liu to destroy it quickly and not to delay. We can't let the thieves sit big and wrap up the common people, making it out of control."

Liu Daxia sneered and said, "Thank you for reminding me."
