Chapter 359 Go
(Thank you for the tickets of the leisure ronin and the shepherd wolf smoke.)
In the morning of the next day, Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, announced in a high-profile manner that the mob rebellion in Wen'an County had been controlled. Chen Wei, the commander of the state guard, led the army to defeat the main force of Wen'an's anti-thieves. The anti-thieves fled everywhere and hid in the countryside and mountains. Now they are being arrested everywhere, and the capture of the bandits in a few days.
Wenwu officials breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the play and praised the decisive action of the Ministry of War. Liu Shangshu had a good heart to do what he said; Liu Daxia was also arrogant and turned over the words that Song Nan said a few days ago, in which satirized Song Nan's unfounded worries and nosy.
Song Nan was very surprised. Originally, she thought that Liu Daxia did not report it and deliberately concealed the news so as not to cause panic. After it calmed down, she also announced the truth. Now it seems that Liu Daxia openly announced such false news in the court, which was obviously kept in the dark.
In the face of Liu Daxia's sarcasm, Song Nan did not talk to him. After the next court, Song Nan followed Zhengde's footsteps to the Qianqing Palace to meet him. Zhengde was in a happy mood and was about to go to Xiyuan. When he heard that Song Nan came to see him, he suspected that he was ridiculed by Liu Daxia in court and came to explain to himself.
In the imperial study, Song Nan just proposed to go to Bazhou in person, and Zhengde laughed and said, "Song Nan, are you unconvinced by Liu Daxia? Unexpectedly, I have to prove this matter in person. Hey, I have convinced you with your temper. I need to know that you are not right in everything, and it is normal to occasionally judge wrongly. Didn't I blame you?"
Liu Jin stood aside with a gloating smile on his face and said strangely, "Lord Song is not angry that he is called a big deal. This is to see if the minister of the Ming Dynasty has lied in court."
Song Nan ignored Liu Jin and said to Zhengde, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be angry with Liu Daxia. The news announced by Liu Daxia today is very different from the news I got, so I asked to go and have a look in person."
Zhengde frowned and said, "What? Is there any entry or exit?
Song Nan nodded and said, "Yes, I received a secret report from thousands of households in Jinyiwei Baoding last night, which was contrary to what the Ministry of War said. The mob in Wen'an County has not been defeated, but has become a praeminence. Thousands of people have developed from hundreds of people, and the local people have been trapped in a large number of gangs. Four days ago, Xu Shangyi, a thousand guards of the new town, led more than 1,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress it. More than 500 people were killed by thieves, and Xu Shangyi was also killed in the battle.
Zhengde was shocked, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak well: "This...this...you're not joking with me, are you?"
Liu Jin was also stunned and said in a low voice, "Lord Song, you can't talk nonsense for face."
Song Nan frowned and said to Liu Jin, "Duke Liu, I will inform the emperor of the big event. Can you withdraw for the time being and don't talk too much?"
Liu Jin said angrily, "Why can't I be aside? Your Song Nan's words are not true, and our family will have to make staff for the emperor.
Song Nan suddenly got up and said angrily, "Liu Jin, there has been frequent civil unrest and social chaos in the Ming Dynasty. Do you know why? Now I don't have time to talk to you. There will be a day to settle accounts with you.
Liu Jin pointed to Song Nan and shouted, "What did you say? Is the civil unrest caused by our family? Your Majesty... You are too rude to listen to Song Nan's words. I beg the emperor to make the decision for my maidservant. This criminal servant is not acceptable."
Zhengde frowned and said, "Song Nan, be careful. Why did you pull Liu Jin's head again? I ask you, why is the news of the Ministry of War very different from the news of Jinyiwei? Who on earth should I listen to?"
Song Nan sighed and knew that she was a little impulsive. Now she did not have the energy to tell Zhengde about the causal relationship between Liu Jin's new policy and the frequent civil unrest. At present, the first consideration is how to calm the incident.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the report of the Ministry of War is contrary to the information obtained by the Jinyiwei government, that I asked you to investigate and verify it in person. There must be something strange about this matter. If the information of my Jinyiwei government is wrong, I will punish the relevant personnel severely. If the report of the Ministry of War is not true, it will be a big trouble. If the thief can defeat thousands of officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, the thief will be in power. Not only Wen'an, but also the surrounding states and counties may be affected, which is a chaotic situation.
Zhengde is creepy and moved. How can he not understand Song Nan's words? If Jin Yiwei's information is true, at least it shows that the number of thieves and soldiers is large and dares to fight with officers and soldiers, it is not a simple civil disorder, but a real rebellion. Once Zuo Jinzhou government is attacked, the impact will be huge, and no one knows what it is. Consequences.
"Your Majesty, Wen'an Zuo Jin has only two guards and horses, Bazhouwei and Hejianwei. There are no soldiers and horses in other states and counties near Zuo. Once the thief attack, it is easy to be broken in an unprepared situation. Nowadays, the situation is unknown and it is impossible to make a specific judgment, but if I go, I can at least understand the situation. If there is any change, I Jinyiwei government has manpower in all counties, and can be mobilized to resist first; so as to avoid thieves and soldiers being rampant, and the suffering is too extensive and uncontrollable.
Zhengde nodded and said, "That's right, just in case; if Liu Daxia dares to deceive me, I will never let him go."
Song Nan said, "Now we can't judge whether it is true or false. Even if the news of the military department is wrong, it may be that Liu Shangshu was deceived by the guards below. Let's not mention this matter. Let's find out the situation first."
Zhengde said, "Okay, I allow you to go. When will you leave?"
Song Nan said, "Everything is urgent. I will leave immediately. I suggest that the emperor should not announce this matter first, but he can make appropriate preparations and summon relevant people to mobilize troops and horses to standby. Once the news is true, it is inevitable that the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp will send out to suppress bandits."
Liu Jin also realized the seriousness of the problem and said urgently, "Your Majesty, you can summon the Duke of England and the Duke of Ding to come to discuss secretly. Now it is not appropriate to publicize it. I even suspect that Liu Daxia deliberately did it. Maybe there is any conspiracy. In short, we should plan ahead."
Song Nan glanced at Liu Jin and could come to the conclusion of conspiracy theory in everything. It was really a threat to have him around Zhengde. Although he had no good impression on Liu Daxia, it was really nonsense to say that he deliberately did it and brewing any conspiracy. After this incident, Liu Jin had to find a way to get rid of it. There was this person in the court for a day. , Daming Society will not have a day of peace.
After leaving the palace, Song Nan returned to the government office to gather everyone and asked Sun Xuan to sit in the Jinyiwei government office to handle daily affairs. He ordered Wan Zhi to lead the 200 Jinyiwei Dahan General, Hou Dabiao and Zheng Da led 500 Fu Siti in the north town. Wang Yong and Li Daniu led 300 Qinwei camp flag school, accompanied by a total of 1,000 brocade guards.
Only then did the daughters of the Song family know that Song Nan was going to Wen'an, Bazhou, where the mob swarmed up, and they were very worried. Ye Fanggu asked to go with him, but Song Nan refused. This is not a trip to play in the mountains and rivers. Although it is not a serious way to lead troops on an expedition, it is not much different. In the end, it is inconvenient to bring the women's family. They only comforted them and let the little princess breathe in the prince's mansion. The soldiers immediately left Beijing after breakfast and lunch.
More than 800 miles from the left of the capital in Wen'an County, more than a thousand cavalry stayed overnight along the official road and arrived in Bazhou City three days later. Lord Song, the commander of the Qianhu government office of Bazhou Jinyiwei, came in person and hurriedly gathered thousands of Ti to ride out of the city to welcome him. The governor of Bazhou went to the new town with Bazhou Wei, and the left-behind Tongzhi learned the news. Hurry out to welcome.
Song Nan asked about the situation in Wen'an County. Surprisingly, Bazhou officials knew nothing about it, but said that all the soldiers and horses of Bazhouwei were mobilized to the new town two days ago. Chen Wei, the commander of Bazhou Wei gathered soldiers and horses in the new town to defeat the thieves of Wen'an County in one fell swoop. As for the current result, he did not know.
Song Nan is going crazy, and these guys don't know what they are thinking. They don't even have any ** of the crisis that is close at hand. Obviously, since Chen Wei has gathered 5,000 to 6,000 officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, it shows that the matter is extremely difficult. Does he still monitor the news from time to time to find out the outcome?
Fortunately, Bazhou Weijinyiwei Yamen is still very powerful. According to the news from thousands of households in Baoding Prefecture, a large army left the new town to suppress bandits. As for the specific victory or defeat, further information needs to be confirmed.
Song Nan knows the internal rules of Jinyiwei. Thousands of households generally do not invade the other party's jurisdiction for detection. If there is information, they can be shared and ask for assistance, but they are not allowed to be different. Grab the ground. Wen'an belongs to Bazhou, but it is relatively close to Baoding Prefecture. In addition, after the chaos, the local government in Bazhou strictly ordered not to leave the city at will. On the contrary, the news of thousands of Jinyiwei in Bazhou is not as fast as that of Baoding. However, at this moment, the specific situation of the front line still needs to be heard from the local Jinyiwei Baihu.
Song Nan decided not to stop and immediately went to the new town. Bazhou Jinyiwei Qianhu Lin Song proposed to take his brothers with him. Song Nan refused his proposal, because considering that in addition to arresting fast government officials and tolerances and others in Bazhou City, the officers and soldiers of the guard have taken time. In case of an emergency, they will be unable to maintain it, so more than a thousand Jinyi Weti is an important force in this city.
Song Nan announced that the Jinyiwei Qianhu government office in Bazhou has entered an emergency standby state. All Jinyiwei Flag Schools must cancel their vacations and ensure stability in Bazhou. If there is an emergency in Bazhou, it is necessary to immediately protect Bazhou city defense.
After the sumptuous luncheon set up by Bazhou Tongzhi, Song Nan led a thousand cavalry and galloped south to the new town.
