Wang Yuanya said with some fear: "These people are not going to cause trouble, are they?"
Liu Ce didn't say anything. As the governor of Jiliao, he was well-informed. It's okay not to be well-informed. The former governor Yu Anxing was still suspended from office. He had also heard about the situation in the Beijing camp. Those people in the Ministry of War looked too ugly.
.
He whispered to Wang Yuanya: "Your Majesty has already approved the money for the expedition. For some reason, the Ministry of War has been delaying it. It's not because they want to pay. This is a place of right and wrong. Let's leave as soon as possible after seeing Your Majesty."
Wang Yuanya looked bitter. You can go back to Santun camp. What should I do? I am the governor of Shuntian and the Yamen is in the city. Where can I hide?
Liu Ce felt that Wang Yuanya was a good person, much better than Governor Wang.
"After a while, you tell His Majesty that the army has entered the city and there is insufficient supplies in the city. You leave the city to prepare some supplies to fully supply the needs of the army. Your Majesty will agree." Liu Ce said to him.
Wang Yuanya glanced at Liu Ce gratefully, and silently cupped her hands. It was a sign of gratitude without saying a word.
The two of them have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Jingying. The water in Jingying is too deep. If Xungui and Donglin are involved, if they are accidentally entangled, they may be shattered to pieces.
After a while, Chongzhen summoned him.
"Liu Qing, the Beijing Camp is still short of 400,000 dans of horse feed. You first transfer the fodder from the Santun Camp, and then ask the Ministry of Revenue to replenish it for you." Chongzhen sat in the lobby and said calmly.
Riding in a four-wheeled carriage along the way was very comfortable, especially the cement road in Yang Fan's territory, and the sofa in the four-wheeled carriage with shock-absorbing springs, so there was no fatigue at all.
"Your Majesty, Santun camp does not have so much horse supplies. Now after the disarmament in Jizhen, there are only 35,000 regular soldiers. There are only 5,000 cavalry. There are only 72,721 loads of horse supplies. But I will
Go down there and collect money from house to house, and within three days the ministers will promise to send enough horse feed to you." Liu Ce immediately vowed.
Chongzhen nodded happily and said: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear. If all the ministers and ministers work as hard as you do, why worry about the failure of the imperial court's important affairs."
Chongzhen turned to Wang Yuanya and said: "How much food and salary are there in Ji Town? It can supply the army for a month."
Wang Yuanya almost sat down on the ground. What! Did I hear clearly? An army of 150,000 people, with a full month of food and wages, how can we prepare for this?
The emperor was like a lion, this number almost scared him to death.
Wang Yuanya thought about the disastrous defeat of the 150,000-strong army outside the Pass, and wondered how many were left. She was afraid that those ancestors would have to find a solution on their own after being defeated.
The emperor doesn't know what's going on below. It's not easy to do grassroots work.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. After the mutiny in Ji Town this year, everyone is in dire straits. Officials' salaries have been in arrears for three months. The treasury is so empty that a rat could starve to death. Let alone food and salary, it is just food and drink.
The supply has been borrowed by Chen and merchants in Zunhua City. Wuwuwu..." Wang Yuanya started to cry as she spoke.
Chongzhen couldn't bear it for a while. After all, he had just come to take office. The Jizhen mutiny was Wang Yingxian's responsibility and had nothing to do with him.
"Wang Qing, don't be embarrassed, just try your best to prepare." Chongzhen comforted after hearing this.
"Don't worry, your majesty. I will summon the merchants of Zunhua right now. Zunhua is a famous and prosperous place in the north. I will go to various iron factories outside the city and ask them to raise funds. I must make up for the food and salary as soon as possible." Wang Yuanya cried.
said.
Chongzhen was also a little moved for a moment. He nodded and said, "Wang Qing, just try your best. Even if you can't make up for it, I won't blame you."
The two resigned as emperor and came out with a layer of white sweat on their heads.
The situation outside was even weirder. In the darkness, there were figures, and I didn’t know who they were. The atmosphere in Zunhua instantly became tense. The people in the city were sensitive to the abnormality, and the children who ran outside were all pulled back home.
The doors of every house are closed.
On several prosperous streets, businesses also quickly closed their doors.
Xinghe Bank also realized something was wrong. However, Xinghe Bank is located in the northeast corner of Zunhua City.
This area used to be filled with smelly ponds and wasteland. Now it has become an industrial area, accounting for one-sixth of the area of Zunhua City. There are many factories here, and there is also Xinghe Castle, which was built on the original site of Xinghe Iron Works.
It is separated by high walls, and there are trenches and barbed wire outside.
There are not many outsiders here. There are also security teams patrolled by workers, so it is relatively safe.
Today, since the army entered the city in the morning, the situation has gradually become strange. After Yaoguang finished handling the affairs of the academy, he keenly felt that the situation was abnormal.
So, Yaoguang ordered everyone in Yang Fan's group to retreat back to the industrial park to avoid accidents.
In the middle of the night, in the barracks on the east side of the school ground, a man suddenly shouted, "The water has gone out, the water has gone out."
Then, suddenly fires broke out everywhere, and suddenly dozens of fires broke out in the military camp and burned down.
The fire started. It was a moonless cloudy night and the wind was blowing. The buildings in the city were all wooden buildings, so the fire spread immediately. Afterwards, most parts of the city were on fire and burned.
Countless people were shouting, and the streets were full of people running around. Cursing, fighting, and shouting suddenly started. Countless rioters rushed into Jinbao Street and smashed open the doors of more than a dozen pawn shops and banks.
Rush in and start looting.
More officers and soldiers joined in the rebellion. Fires were set everywhere and looting was carried out everywhere.
Zunhua is different from other cities. Mining, smelting, and steel product manufacturing factories and workshops are densely distributed here. There are hundreds of thousands of industrial workers. And these large mine owners and workshop owners have private armed forces just like Yang Fan. That is, various
Kind of group training.
When the rebels began to smash up pawnshops and banks, fierce conflicts broke out with the regiment.
Almost the whole city was fighting and clashing, and in the light of the fire, there were shouts of killing.
In China, Tuanlian is the private armed force of landlords, industrial and commercial owners, and has always been quite effective in combat. The little devil once concluded that the ranking of China's combat effectiveness is that the first is the militia, the second is the old bandit armed forces, the third is Tubal Road, and the third
The fourth is the regular army.
These private armed forces are all over the urban and rural areas of Zunhua. In the Ming Dynasty, wherever there were mines, there were private armed forces, just like where there was salt, there were armed gangs of private salt dealers. This was a matter of relying on the mountains and the water.
The officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp changed their clothes, covered their faces, and carried Yanling knives. They went straight to the business of robbing houses. Everyone knows that Zunhua has made a fortune in recent years. Every household has money. Several commercial streets and Jinbao
The street is a place where gold and silver flow.
It would be better to cause chaos than to go out and die.
They had a clear understanding of how much they weighed. They went to fight the Jian slaves simply to die.
When I arrived in Zunhua today, I just did nothing and robbed a large sum of money without going anywhere.
The dozens of taels I spent are just like feeding the dogs. It is not a big deal to grab a few hundred taels or even a thousand taels in Zunhua City.
However, they ignored one problem, that is, since the interests here are so huge, these mining proprietors are naturally not good people. How could they not be armed to protect their own interests?
Chongzhen was awakened by the noise of the rebels in the middle of the night. When he realized what had happened, his face turned pale.
