Chapter 2540 The white lotus storm of the guizi scroll sweeps through the Northland

On June [-]th of the second year of Wantong, Feng Ziying was appointed by the Ministry of Officials as the left deputy capital envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the governor of Jiangnan.

On June [-], the Bailian Sect in Gaocheng and Jinzhou on the south bank of the Hutuo River in Zhending Prefecture rebelled.

On June [-], the White Lotus Sect uprising swept across many counties in Wuji, Huolu, Luancheng, and Zhaozhou.

On June [-], Luancheng County was captured by the Bailian followers.On June [-], Yuanshi County in the west was captured by the White Lotus Rebel Army.

Before the imperial court fully recovered, on the first day of July, the White Lotus Sect uprising broke out simultaneously in Xiong County of Baoding Prefecture and Bazhou of Shuntian Prefecture.

In just three days, it spread to Xincheng, Rongcheng in Baoding Prefecture, Wen'an, Baoding (county), Dacheng, Gu'an, Yongqing in Shuntian Prefecture, and Qing County in Hejian Prefecture.

On the second day of July, Feng Ziying arrived in Xuzhou and stayed in Xuzhou temporarily. Instead of going directly south to Nanjing, Feng Ziying officially started his career as governor of the south of the Yangtze River in Xuzhou.

From the first day of July to the fifth day of July, the White Lotus Rebellion erupted simultaneously in Liaocheng in Dongping Prefecture, Shandong Province, Pingyin and Dong'e in Yanzhou Prefecture, and Changqing and Feicheng in Jinan Prefecture.

……

In Xuzhou, Feng Ziying, as the right servant of the Ministry of War, temporarily stopped the last batch of the third battalion of the Northwest Army that was going to Dongjiang Town in southern Liaoning.

"Ke Yao, I can't stay in Xuzhou for too long. This is the last thing I can do for Jiangnan and Xuzhou." Feng Ziying looked serious and looked at her old classmates with her hands behind her back. The Northwest Army, I think it is enough to solve all the Bailian chaos in Xuzhou, so I will leave it to you."

He Fengsheng was also a little nervous.

He has not been in Xuzhou for a long time, and he is still in the familiarization stage.

Although Feng Ziying had reminded him that the White Lotus Sect had a lot of influence in Xuzhou, especially with the White Lotus Sect in many counties in Yanzhou Prefecture to the north, he was required to make full preparations in advance.

But after coming to Xuzhou, I was entangled in various things. Although I also stepped up the investigation of the White Lotus Sect in the counties of Xuzhou, especially Dangshan, Fengxian, and Peixian, three counties close to Shandong, but there were many obstacles, and the progress was slow. not big.

According to various news from the capital and even Shandong, a large-scale rebellion broke out in almost the entire territory of the White Lotus Sect. Although the canal has not been cut off, under this situation, it is afraid that the water transportation will be cut off sooner or later.

This will also have a huge impact on Xuzhou, which relies heavily on water transportation.

"Ziying, you have to stay in Xuzhou for two more days." At this time, He Fengsheng also didn't care about face, and pleaded: "The situation in Dangshan, Fengxian and Peixian is not good, and Xiaoxian is better. I have made some preparations, but I am not experienced enough for this kind of large-scale rebellion, so I need your help."

It is not easy to get to the step of Xuzhou Zhizhou, which is the most important step in the promotion of official career in the future. If something happens, it may not only be as simple as delaying the official career for a few years, but if it is not good, it will be dismissed and investigated.

"Well, but I can't stay too long, at most three days, starting today, you will go directly to Feng County to sit in town, pre-emptively launch a full-scale suppression of the confirmed or suspected White Lotus Sect, don't be kind, don't worry so much at this time Let’s get rid of it first, then we’ll talk about it..." Feng Ziying paused, "Two battalions will be handed over to you, and one battalion will be left behind in Xuzhou to prevent accidents."

"I understand that it is better to kill and catch by mistake than to miss one person. Once a fish slips through the net, there will be endless troubles." He Fengsheng also gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Special period, special means, you can decide for yourself." Feng Ziying pondered for a while before saying: "People in the Xuzhou prefectural government and county government, don't be fooled, your time here is too short, if you feel it is not safe, you would rather be in the Northwest Army I have greeted the Chinese callers, and I will fully cooperate with you."

He Fengsheng also knew that the Northwest Army was the foundation of the Feng family, so Feng Ziying said hello, so it must be fine, so he nodded his head to show he understood.

The situation has come to this point, which caught Feng Ziying a little by surprise.

Liu Dongyang had just arrived in Taiyuan, and the Northwest Army that was going to be transferred to Shanxi Town was still marching on the border of Henan. It can be said that the situation in Shanxi has not yet been reversed, and the situation in Beizhi and Shandong has begun to explode.

It was a big move from the beginning, but Feng Ziying knew that it definitely didn't stop there.

As soon as he reached Jining, he got news that something happened in Liaocheng, Pingyin and Dong'e.

Fortunately, Jining's side is just getting more and more rumored, and it hasn't been linked yet, but it probably won't be too long, so Feng Ziying is also going south in a starry night, and he will go to Xuzhou first.

In Feng Ziying's impression, the situation in Yanzhou is definitely worse than that of Dongchang Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, and the counties in the south of Yanzhou Prefecture, such as Shanxian, Jinxiang, Yutai, Tengxian, and Xuzhou's Fengxian, Peixian and The Dangshan connection is too close, it is impossible not to be affected.

Feng Ziying had to stay in Xuzhou for a few days.

First, to observe the changes in the situation in Shandong. After all, he still holds the title of the right servant of the Ministry of War; second, if there is something wrong in Yanzhou, Xuzhou will definitely be implicated. If Xuzhou is to be solved, Yanzhou cannot be left behind.

Also, He Fengsheng lacked some experience in dealing with this kind of situation. Whether it was public or private, emotional or reasonable, he had to help the other party.

The location of Xuzhou is too important. It is connected to Guide in Henan in the west, Huai'an in the east, Yanzhou in the north, and Fengyang in the south. They are all densely populated but not very rich. It can be said that it is the best place for the breeding of the White Lotus Sect. I am the leader of the White Lotus Sect, so I will choose this place.

But the speed of the development of the situation still exceeded Feng Ziying's expectation.

On the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th day of the seventh month, for three consecutive days, riots of the White Lotus Sect broke out successively in Juye, Jiaxiang, Wenshang, Surabaya, Ningyang, and Zhiziyang, Yanzhou Prefecture.

Although there is a guard named Ren Chengwei stationed in Ziyang, Yanzhou Prefecture, but what makes people desperate is that out of the [-] people in Ren Chengwei, more than [-] are members of the White Lotus Sect. It is obvious that Ren Chengwei was infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect. center of gravity.

The raging rebellion swept across most of Yanzhou in an instant, and quickly spread to Jinxiang, Yutai, and Teng counties adjacent to Xuzhou.

"Where did Liu Baichuan and his battalion go?" Feng Ziying couldn't sit still.

He even wanted to chase back Liu Baichuan's battalion that had set off for Huguang in late May, and the most important thing was to let Liu Baichuan come back to preside over the battle in the southeast of Shandong.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's too late." Wu Yaoqing also shook his head helplessly.

Unlike the Northwest Army who took the Henan route, Liu Baichuan took the Yingzhou route. It is estimated that they have already reached the Sanguan area of ​​Yiyang and are about to enter Huguang.

At this time, it will take at least a month to chase Liu Baichuan all the way back.

"If you can't get back, you have to go after it." Feng Ziying shook her head, "The situation in the south of Shandong is one thing, and I'm not worried even if there are three battalions of the Northwest Army in Xuzhou. Dehe daimyo two mansions."

Wu Yaoqing was startled, "My lord, do you have any pointers?"

"The two counties of Yucheng and Xiayi in Guide Mansion are probably not optimistic, but Daming Mansion has more problems. When I was still in Shuntian Mansion, the clues of the White Lotus Sect that were seized involved Daming, Shunde, and Guangping. I am afraid that the situation in the three prefectures is not much better than Baoding and Zhending, but it has not exploded yet."

Guide Mansion belongs to Henan, while Daming, Shunde, and Guangping belong to Beizhili.

"Are you worried that the three prefectures in the north and south may also be involved?" Wu Yaoqing was also a little uncertain.

"It's not possible, but inevitable." Feng Ziying has already determined that this round of white lotus storm will definitely affect the entire Northland, and it will even affect Nanzhili and Huguang. No one will be spared.

"If you are sure, my lord, then the Northwest Army of these three battalions going to the south of Liaoning will have to stay, and add the battalion of Master Liu to form a temporary Xuzhou Army." Wu Yaoqing said while thinking: You have already sent a letter to the Lai army, asking them to be prepared. It is estimated that the Ministry of War has already issued an order at this time, but the Denglai army alone may not be able to handle it. To prevent the Bailian rebellion from spreading to the southern Zhili side, we must You have to put up a fence and a fence."

"That's what I thought too. First of all, we have to build fences along the lines of Fengyang, Xuzhou, and Huai'an." Feng Ziying nodded, "The other thing is to help the neighbors clean up the weeds."

It is not easy for Feng Ziying to intervene too much in affairs other than Nanzhili. Although he has the title of the right servant of the Ministry of War, it is an addition after all, not a real title, so he has to be careful. He has already given to Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong. Letter, let them pay attention to the situation, recalling Liu Baichuan here is considered to be the first to act later, but it is also reasonable.

Feng Ziying originally only planned to stay in Xuzhou for three days, but the changing situation in Lunan forced him to stop and observe the situation further.

Until June [-]th, the small-scale rebellions in Feng County and Pei County had been quelled. At the same time, the Northwest Army also began to move along the canal. The area from Teng County to Zhaoyang Lake already belonged to the boundary of Shandong, but the Northwest Army still Launched operations across the border, successively defeated several groups of Bailian rebels, and helped Teng County stabilize the situation.

Just as Feng Ziying was about to go south, Yucheng and Xiayi in Guide Mansion rebelled again, and Dangshan under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou was also affected.

Immediately afterwards, Nanle, Qingfeng, and Kaizhou in Daming Mansion rebelled again, and the situation became more and more turbulent, which made Feng Ziying also in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Gu Bingqian from Nanjing was urging him to go south, and on the other hand, although the situation in Xuzhou was stabilized, the situation around Xuzhou was deteriorating, and where these battalions of the Northwest Army would go, and who would take over and arrange the follow-up was also a problem.

The imperial court did not reply for a long time, which also made Feng Ziying quite anxious.

His suggestion to the Ministry of War was to move Jingxiang Town to Xuzhou or Yanzhou as a whole, and change its name to Jiangbei Town.

This suggestion is a bit out of line, and it seems that there are signs of going the old way of Chen Jixian, but the situation is developing like this, so it has to be like this.

Feng Ziying believes that she has no selfishness and a clear conscience.
