Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Not long after the palace examination, Southwest sent back good news one after another.She Chongming retreated steadily against the disciplined and powerful Forbidden Army led by Liu Qu who had been baptized in the Liaodong and Northwest battlefields, and proposed to surrender to the court.

Zhang Zhifeng knew what he wanted to do for the emperor ever since he went south with Qin Liangyu.The eldest brother led the forbidden army to search and raid Jiannu in Liaodong, and when he returned to Beijing for a short period of recuperation, he also praised the reasoning of the saying that "people who are not of my race must have different hearts" in his speech.Without the emperor saying much, he understood the meaning of the emperor giving him Jinyiwei and Dongchang tokens.

Therefore, not long after he left the capital, he led dozens of people from Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers, and rushed to Sichuan day and night, finally catching up with the forbidden army led by Liu Qu in time.

Faced with the surrender proposed by She Chongming, he showed Liu Qu the Jinyiwei and Dongchang tokens he held.It made Liu Qu understand that the method of dealing with this rebellion/rebellion of the Yi people should be the same as that of the Jurchens in Liaodong.He ordered not to accept She Chongming's surrender, and in the name of avenging the officials, soldiers and civilians who died in She Chongming's rebellion, he ordered the massacre of more than [-] Yi people who participated in the rebellion, and then led his troops to Guizhou.

The news that all the Yi people had been slaughtered and rebels was rushed to the capital by Sichuan Zuo Buzheng Zhu Xieyuan with [-] li.After all, there was only one grand court meeting, and Yu Shi, who had been annoyed by this news for two days, fired at Liu Qu with full firepower.The impassioned censor in the court hall, you sing and I will appear on the stage, it is as lively as a stage, most of them impeach Liu Qu as a sad and mad butcher.This made Zhu Youxiao wonder if he would be prone to crimes against humanity.

Of course, there is no shortage of remarks supporting Liu Qu's approach.However, under the momentum that the culprit must be eliminated and the coerced should be lenient, the momentum to support Liu Qu seems too weak.

There were few people who supported Liu Qu but they did not back down, and the two sides argued fiercely.

There was a lot of noise in the sun, and the arrogance of the censor who strongly demanded to deal with Liu Qu became more and more violent.Fortunately, at this moment, an urgent report from eight hundred miles was sent from Shandong, saying that the Wenxiang Sect had rebelled and broken the Grand Canal.

After Wei Chao's shrill voice finished reading the urgent report, the Wenhua Palace with hundreds of people immediately fell into deathly silence.Everyone knows the importance of the canal to Gyeonggi, and they all understand that once the north-south traffic is cut off, only relying on sea transportation to transport grain from Tianjin to Gyeonggi cannot meet Gyeonggi's needs for other materials.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the high throne with his back straight, ignored Wei Chao who was holding the urgent report, and lectured the courtiers in a deep voice with no expression on his face.

"Wang Sen of the Wenxiang Sect died early in prison. At the beginning, the temple upheld the great righteousness of not punishing those who were coerced, released a large number of followers, and did not punish the people who followed blindly in the countryside.

In this expedited [-]-mile letter, it is said that the Wenxiang Sect has grown to hundreds of thousands of people and has occupied many places in Shandong.And the leader of this rebellion/rebellion, Xu Hongru, claimed to be "Emperor Zhongxing Fulie". Dear friends, I would like to ask how this is different from the founding of "Dajin" and "Daliang"?

Now I would like to ask the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check whether the members of the Wenxiang sect who were released back in the name of "coerced subjects" are still farming in their hometown and living as good citizens? "

The imperial censor who impeached Liu Qu just now fell silent.Is there still a need to investigate and verify this matter?It is certain that those old believers will be coerced into it again.

Zhang Wenda went out to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, there are many followers of Wenxiang Sect, and believers are all over Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other provinces."

Zhang Wenda didn't want the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to lose their lives in vain by being sent by the emperor to Wenxiang to teach rebellion/rebellion.But the idea of ​​the Son of Heaven removing all those who participated in the rebellion was too terrifying.He had no choice but to come out on his own, trying to persuade the emperor to change his mind.

"Zhang Qing, only the people of Daming can be sheltered by the officers and soldiers of Ming. Since these rebels think that Ming is not good, it is the end of the world, and I am not a bloodthirsty king. Duke Dingguo."

"The minister is here."

"You order [-] imperial troops to go to Shandong, restore the traffic of the Grand Canal, and expel all the believers of Wenxiang Sect from the territory of Ming Dynasty. Daming will not leave any rebels and thieves behind."

Ding Guogong should order.

Zhu Youxiao went on to say: "The decree is to be sent to Luanzhou, the nine families of Tu Wangsen and Xu Hongru. The decree is passed on to the place where the Ming government is located. All those who worship the heresy teachings related to Wang Sen's "Wenxiangjiao" will be dispatched to coal mines, salt mines, etc. Beach, women are exiled to the army, and parents, brothers, and children of the same clan are guilty of the same crime."

Zhang Wenda, Zhou Jiamo and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. The Son of Heaven declared Wenxiangjiao to be a cult, and then simply issued the decree. This violated the procedures for handling political affairs.But compared with the excited face and the obvious tendency to lead troops to Shandong to fight the rebellion, under Ye Xianggao's signal, both Liu Yixiu and Han Yu chose to keep silent.

The old and important ministers were silent.

Let Ding Guogong go to get Qianqiu infamy.

The civil servants who were fighting fiercely just now thought about it more slowly, and they reached an agreement in an instant: as long as the emperor stays in the capital, there is room for reincarnation no matter how it is recorded in the annals of history.

Huang Kezuan would not come out as Minister of the Ministry of Justice to say that the emperor's punishment was severe.

Wen Xiangjiao has only ceased for three to five years, and it has played the banner of "Zhongxing Fulie Emperor". The most intolerable thing in the royal family is rebellion.It can be seen that Emperor Wanli's relentless handling of the coerced followers made these people daring.

No one ever mentioned whether the extermination of the Yi people in Chongming by the Imperial Army to suppress the rebellion was too much.

In the Wenhua Palace in June, the officials who were sweating all over because of the fierce debate felt the chills start to rise up their backs in the will of the emperor's dictation.

God, how many people did the Son of Heaven want to kill?Wouldn't this be more people to be killed than the rebellion of Sapphire and others during Tai/Zu's reign?

But no one dared to speak out against the emperor. Do you want to investigate those coerced followers who were released a few years ago?Alas, thinking of those foolish people who have not been questioned, it is impossible to say that the emperor punished them harshly today. It is estimated that those who were never questioned will definitely participate again this time.

The imperial army dispatched 5 people to go to Shandong.This time the imperial army moved faster, because the emperor brought back the [-] imperial army from the northwest as the foundation, Shandong was relatively close to the capital, and the follow-up supplies were easy. Duke Ding only prepared for two or three days, and he was in the Qin Dynasty. The Tianjian set off on the day chosen.

Zhu Youxiao sent a British official to see the army off for him.

Before Ding Guogong brought back the news that the imperial army who had been brought to Shandong had restrained the "Wenxiangjiao" and restored the canal, another army soldier who rushed to the capital rushed to Beijing, and in the amazement he brought to the people of the capital, he came from the capital of the capital. In the south, Yongding Gate enters the city and goes straight to the Forbidden City.

In the past few years, the capital has been rushing for eight hundred miles, and there will be several times a year, but that time is not as frightening as the soldiers who came to report this time were exhausted, haggard, and in a state where they were about to fall off their horses.

The well-informed common people in the capital realized that this was a major event in the distance of the capital.

Something really happened.

——The Westerners sent a fleet to attack the "Oyster Mirror".

To be precise, this Westerner should be Dutch. "Oyster mirror" is Macao in the Chinese population of later generations.In the 36th year of Jiajing (1557), the Portuguese obtained the right of residence in Haojing.In the following decades, Oyster Mirror gradually developed into a supply station for European trade in the East.With the development of shipping in European countries over the past few decades, the supply stations of the declining Portugal in the Far East have been favored by the emerging Dutch.

With powerful firepower, the Dutch were ready to seize the natural harbor of Oyster Mirror from the Portuguese for their own.Amidst the sound of cannonballs, the magistrate of Xiangshan County (now Zhongshan City), the county under the jurisdiction of Haojing, sent troops to reinforce and repel the Dutch offenders.However, in view of the precedent of raising tigers in Liaodong, the county magistrate of Xiangshan reported the matter to the Guangzhou prefect, and the Guangzhou prefect sent soldiers to send three hundred miles to explain the matter to the court urgently.

Cui Jingrong followed the British government to inspect the Beijing camp this day.When he knew the content of the emperor's call, he and the British prince immediately returned to the capital on horseback.The two ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with sweat on their heads.

After all, Cui Jingrong is not as good as Ying Gong, who is the son of a military general, who ran out of breath and scolded his mother in his heart.Shouldn't it be time to go to the temple and have a good obeisance?

Why have there been military incidents everywhere in the past few years!

snort!In the final analysis, it is still the reason for slavery.It was Nu/Erhachi who made a bad start and set up the "Dajin" country to rebel/rebel, so that She Chongming and An/Bangyan followed and established the "Great Liang".Now the Wenxiang Sect has not been wiped out, and the "Zhongxing Fulie Emperor" has not been arrested, and Westerners have come to add chaos.

Zhu Youxiao caressed the urgent report sent by the prefect of Guangdong in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and fell silent.The cabinet, Zhou Jiamo and others have already arrived, and they are all waiting for Cui Jingrong and the British Duke.

After the two arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, read the urgent report from the prefect of Guangzhou, and took a breath, Zhu Youxiao slowly began to speak.

"The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years. I have counted from top to bottom. If it cannot be revived, it is time for internal and external troubles. In the past two years, relying on the dedication of the monarch and his ministers, the soldiers worked hard to stabilize Liaodong and Northwest. The Yi people in the southwest rebelled and wanted to establish their "Daliang" country.

While I was heartbroken, I couldn't help but want to ask, have the people's lives been better or worse in the past two years? "

Ye Xianggao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have been an official for 40 years, honestly speaking, these two years are the most relaxing time for the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The people in Liaodong are no longer worried about the robbery and burning of Jiannu; in the three sides of the northwest, because His Majesty led troops this year to clear the Mongols in the front and back of the Yellow River, they can all live and work in peace.

The north is pacified.She Chongming in the southwest has also been buried in artillery fire, and the rest of An/Bangyan cannot escape the encirclement and suppression of Liu Zongbing and General Qin.

As for the matter of the Wenxiang Sect in the Central Plains, it is just a sore of moss. Duke Ding will definitely put down the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect in the near future.After receiving His Majesty's order, the local governments will also clear the ignorant believers of Wenxiang Sect.

It is the matter of the Westerners' invasion of the border, and the minister feels that the court should develop the navy.The phrase "Anyone who offends me will be punished even if he is far away" is highly respected by the minister. "

As for the situation in the southwest, Ye Xianggao guessed correctly.An/Bangyan, who rebelled/rebelled in Guizhou in response to She Chongming, originally led [-] people to break through Bijie in March, and then divided his troops to break through Anshun, Pingba, Zhanyi, Longli and other places. The momentum made Guizhou All the chieftains stood up to respond to him.

Before Qin Liangyu's troops arrived in Sichuan, She Chongming of Sichuan had already been killed by the artillery fire of the forbidden army.But at this time, An/Bangyan had already organized nearly [-] ethnic minorities to besiege Guiyang.When Liu Qu rushed to Guizhou, An/Bangyan also learned that She Chongming failed to surrender before his death.Seeing that the situation was not good, he led the army to drill into the [-] mountains in Guizhou.

Qin Liangyu and Liu Qu were shrinking the encirclement at this time, and they were about to wipe out An/Bangyan and other rebels who were trapped in the encirclement.The shells that kept falling into the An/Bangyan mob completely crushed the confidence of the rebels to resist.

Ye Xianggao's remarks about the development of the Navy in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, at this time, hit the heads of the six ministers and seven ministers like a bolt from the blue, shocking their hearts;

However, the voice of developing the navy was echoed by Nan Juyi, governor of Fuzhou, from the bottom of his heart.

The Westerners have come to Daming, and they cannot escape or hide. As parents and officials, they must protect the safety of the people under their rule.
