Chapter 289 The panda flag is flying
Suzhou.
Prince Wu's Mansion.
In fact, it is the government office.
In the future, we plan to build a new one for King Wu on the ruins of Zhang Shicheng's palace.
At this time, the so-called Wu Guo regiment trainers had repelled the attacks of the government troops many times. In addition to the fact that the Japanese slaves were really willing to fight, it was largely due to the rise of bandits from all over the country. In less than two months, Guang Tai Lake was on the water.
There are more than a dozen bandits, and there are also bandits in the mountainous areas and pirates on the Yangtze River.
Anyway, it popped up all of a sudden.
They constantly attacked the government troops, burned transport ships and even attacked county towns.
Then the troops stationed in various parts of the imperial court were exhausted...
A few days ago, a group of pirates actually landed at Jinshanwei. Although they fled back to the sea in a hurry during Jinshanwei's attack, the entire coast was in panic...
As for the fact that these pirates all speak with Fujian accents, just ignore it.
After all, there are bandits everywhere.
Under such circumstances, not to mention the reinforcement of troops in Suzhou, the guards from all over the country were asking for help, which made the emperor very irritable, although he actually knew very well that these bandits were committed by the gentry who still acted as loyal ministers in various places. For example, the Taihu water bandits
, the vast majority of them were gentry from Changzhou Prefecture. They used their clan cronies to lead Japanese slaves and some real water bandits they had bribed, and constantly attacked the canal. Relying on the secret cooperation of the gentry and even local civil servants, they quickly left with one attack, with the purpose of burning it down.
The imperial court sent supplies to the front line in Suzhou, then returned to Taihu Lake, found a branch of the harbor to sneak in, and showed up again as a good citizen.
The same bandits that emerged from the mountains, the same pirates that emerged from the reeds along the Yangtze River...
They are all of this identity.
This is essentially the gentry from all over the country secretly helping the gentry in Suzhou.
But he could only endure it.
If he really gets to the bottom of it, then these gentry have really rebelled. Now the two battlefields in the north and south have not been resolved. Hundreds of thousands of troops are on the front line, and the emperor has no ability to fight on the third battlefield.
In the final analysis, Suzhou is not the key. As long as Kaifeng solves the problem, Lan Yu's army will come back and slap them to death. Therefore, during this period, Wu Shouan's Shenji Battalion mainly watched from outside. To be precise, it was suppressed outside Suzhou City.
, to prevent other counties and even prefectures from responding, especially Changzhou Prefecture. As for Wu Jie, he focused on Zhejiang.
The emperor's current principle is to control the scope of the rebellion here first and there is no need to rush to solve it.
Of course, Suzhou does not have the ability to expand outward.
They are waiting too.
Wait for more forces to join the ranks of betraying the emperor.
The situation has been great recently. Lan Yu can't open Kaifeng, Cao Zhen and others can't open Wuchang, Fujian and Guangdong are actually in seclusion, and Wang Bi is de facto separatist in Annan.
The brothers Zhu Gaochi from the north continue to grow bigger.
Because Zhou Dexing never attacked, Zhu Gaoxu led the elite troops in Peiping and quickly went north to cooperate with other vassals to conquer the guards at both ends of the river. This guy has already shown the style of a fierce general, a bit like his father's style.
As for his brother, he continued to defend Peiping. Most of the garrison posts affiliated to the Peiping Dusi and Shanxi Xingdu Si had been captured by him half-assed. Indeed, most of these garrison posts were Zhu Di's old troops, and they were not betraying the emperor.
He was either betraying the Ming Dynasty or working with Zhu Di to demand justice for the tragic death of King Xiang.
Very reasonable.
Their slogan was to kill Song Zhong, and the emperor issued an edict to punish himself.
Killing Song Zhong is certainly not worth mentioning.
But killing Song Zhong would mean the emperor surrendered. As long as His Majesty the Emperor surrenders, they will make new demands.
Everyone knows it.
Of course, if this requirement is met, new requirements must be raised. Then if the new requirements are met, further requirements must be raised. In the end, the emperor retreats step by step and completely loses the authority of the emperor. From then on, he has to be controlled by his uncles.
Therefore, there is no room for retreat in this kind of thing, and it must be defeated one by one.
but now……
"This monster, this monster..."
Qi Tai walked back and forth in the main hall of Prince Wu's Mansion with a melancholy look on his face.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen had not yet arrived, so the king of Wu was still played by his nephew. However, King Wu's small court was established. He was the prime minister of the king of Wu. In the past, the vassal kings had prime ministers, and this prime minister was very powerful. For example, Yong
Ping Hou Xie Cheng became his son-in-law and the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty. Then Fang Xiaoru and Yao Shan were the chief ministers, Huang Yue Sima, and the rest of the subordinate officials were all local officials or sages in Suzhou, or the elders of the major families in Suzhou.
Meet the standards of Zhongzhengyingchao.
Everyone around looked at them and thought they were Yao and Shun.
Of course, I just admire it secretly.
At least on the surface they are still criticizing those who rebel against the party.
But now all the officials were sitting there with sad faces, looking at each other in silence.
Yang Feng is not dead!
That demonic man is still alive!
The monster who once left many legends in Suzhou is still alive and has been in Huining. It is impossible for him not to know everything that happened in the past six months of the Ming Dynasty, but he is still hiding in Huining and watching...
"This is a conspiracy. He did it on purpose. He wanted to make the gentry rise up and use it as an excuse to purge the gentry in the world. This monster has always been malicious towards Confucianism and the gentry. It was a disaster that caused this monster to be born. He went there
He has been beguiling Emperor Daxing to implement land equalization in the Ming Dynasty, collect the land of the gentry from all over the world, and then distribute it to the cultivators, and use this to promote reserve service, that is, to turn all the people in the world into military households. Emperor Daxing is wise and never does this.
Motivated, he began to bewitch me, and I was bewitched by him. But after all, me was not as crazy as him, so I kept delaying.
This time he deliberately lured the gentry into revolt and turned the gentry into thieves.
You will definitely be deceived by it at that time.”
Immediately afterwards, Qi Tai understood Yang Feng's sinister intentions as if he suddenly realized it.
"Nantang Gong, what's the use of talking about this at this time? Regardless of whether Yang Feng is a monster or not, we have no way out.
Besides, I'm not a three-year-old.
You and I know very well whether Yang Feng is a monster or not!"
Huang Yue said simply.
"Uh, Shu Yang thinks I'm the one who fabricated lies?"
Qitai said angrily.
He didn't expect Yang Feng to have a good reputation here.
Very weird!
Is this anti-emperor or not anti-Yang Feng?
"Nantang, Yang Feng did act wildly, but he is not a monster in any way. Now the path is different, but there is no need to say that he is a monster. Since he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, the changes in the Ming Dynasty have been obvious to all, even in Suzhou.
Benefited a lot.
He is indeed a little different from ordinary people, but it is just that he has special skills, but the methods he does are also beneficial to the country and the people."
Local wise man Wang Bin said while stroking his beard.
A group of local wise men nodded one after another, saying that Yang Fenglai should be moved when he saw this scene.
Qitai stared at them dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
"Everyone, things have come to this. Yang Feng is still in Huining. Let's wait until he enters the customs!"
Liu Rong said quickly.
A group of local wise men got up and left one after another.
After they left...
"Damn, these bitches are trying to sell us!"
Liu Rong said bitterly.
"They have seen Yang Feng's methods. When Yang Feng fought against the Japanese on the coast, many Suzhou gentry had seen his battlefield methods. These cowards were afraid, and they wanted to show their favor to Yang Feng. Yang Feng has recruited many workers in Suzhou in recent years, and even Yang
Many of the properties of Princess Feng and Princess Hanshan are also in Suzhou. If they secretly collude with Yang Feng, they will say that they were deceived by us with false edicts, and maybe they can bribe Yang Feng to plead for mercy."
Qitai said.
"What should we do?"
Fang Xiaoru immediately became anxious upon hearing this.
He really didn't expect that Yang Feng hadn't come back yet, and just knowing that Yang Feng was still alive would cause his good situation to take a turn for the worse.
"There is only one way."
