This shocking news directly sent back Ouyang Yigong, who was originally preparing to come to make a last-ditch effort to save the Henan gentry.
Of course, the main reason is that at this time, the life and death of the Henan gentry is no longer his concern.
As a Ji'an person, at this time, he expected Liu Wen to make trouble in Henan as violently as possible, because then the Henan gentry would have no choice but to resist, and Yang Feng would definitely not let his minions be isolated and helpless, so he would definitely help Liu Wen.
Wen suppressed the resistance of the Henan gentry, and eventually a fight inevitably broke out.
Then his hometown will be safe for the time being.
After all, everyone understands that Yang Feng didn't care about the outside world at all during this period, not because he didn't have the ability.
But he doesn't have this need. Anyway, he still maintains the final bottom line, and the local government does not openly surrender to the Jianwen court...
It doesn't matter if they collude secretly.
For example, when the children of the gentry went to Guangzhou to take the imperial examination, and the gentry from all over the border traded with the Jianwen-controlled area, Yang Feng didn't care at all, and even encouraged the trade. The little princess's business was still doing the same. In fact, everyone knew that no matter what, as long as Yang Feng could not be killed,
After all, the identity of the little princess must be respected. Even if Zhu Yunwen had the ability to fight his way back to the capital, he would still have to recognize his fourteenth aunt.
Of course, if you can kill Yang Feng, you can give her a glass of poisonous wine, but as long as you can't kill Yang Feng, in the end, even if you gain an absolute advantage, you can only negotiate a solution.
This is inevitable.
So Jianwen also turned a blind eye to the little princess's business.
But now that the gentry in Ganzhou and Ji'an have broken this situation, Yang Feng cannot tolerate such rebellion after all.
Otherwise, more and more state capitals along the route will seek refuge with Jianwen.
Yang Feng must send troops.
And if trouble breaks out in Henan at this time, he won't be able to care about it.
Make a fuss!
The louder the noise, the better.
Counselor Ouyang, who originally came from Kaifeng to suppress the chaos in Dengzhou, soon returned to Kaifeng. When he passed by Nanyang, he was besieged by Nanyang gentry. He was the last hope of the latter. If he
If Liu Wen can be suppressed, the Nanyang gentry will not have to fight so hard. But if this bastard turns around and goes back without doing anything, then the Nanyang gentry will be abandoned. They can either wait for Liu Wen to kill him, who already has a villain like Li Yi.
Dogs, or they have no choice but to strike first.
but……
That is rebellion.
Nanyang Guard.
"Take it!"
In fact, Xie Gui, who was going south with Ouyang Yigong, looked at the Nanyang Guard general who was greeting him, and then pointed at Commander Yi in the middle.
The soldiers following him immediately stepped forward and quickly held Commander Yi down.
"Commander, what is the crime of the general?"
The latter struggled and shouted.
The other generals all lowered their heads in fear.
They have no ability to resist in front of Xie Gui. The latter leads the general army of Henan Province as the governor, and all the commanders and envoys of Henan Province are his subordinates. Therefore, even if the commanders are beheaded with military orders, they will be beheaded. Now this is the case with the troops stationed everywhere.
According to the system, each capital command department has a general soldier with the title of governor. For example, Wei Guogong now leads the general army of Shaanxi as the left governor, and Xie Gui, who was originally killed by Zhu Di at the beginning of the Jing Rebellion in history, because Yang Fenggang arrived
Daming got along well with him. He was also the commander of the Henan capital before, so he was naturally appointed as the commander-in-chief of Henan, and then he was added as the commander-in-chief.
Xie Gui walked up to him and looked at him rather complicatedly.
Then he raised his head again and looked at the other generals with the same eyes...
"What makes you think that with your little ability, you can beat Yang Feng? It has been eight years since he arrived in Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizu Gao can only tolerate him. Lan Yu is strong enough, but she can only stand in front of him.
Being able to commit suicide, King Yan is invincible, and in the end he has to leave the Western Regions in front of him. He seems to have no intention of making progress now because he is waiting, waiting for those idiots to jump out, and then he will kill them one by one. If no one jumps out, he will always
He couldn't just kill them casually, he was deliberately coaxing those idiots to come out and throw themselves into the trap.
Just like this!”
After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked Commander Yi to the ground.
"What's your crime? You don't know what your crime is, but you insist that I send you to prison and let the Jin Yiwei use all the torture on you?
If you are stupid, don't drag others down.
Just for that little piece of land, will we pay for all the glory and wealth of our descendants?
Without those thousands of acres of land, your family cannot be prosperous and wealthy? You are also a veteran who followed Taizu. You did the right thing by following Taizu. Why are you stupid now?
Ah, at that time you had nothing, but now you have a house, land, money, and power. After such good times, you have forgotten your origins.
You deserve to be sold!"
He kicked and cursed.
At this time, Liu Wen, accompanied by Xu Biao and led by an officer, came in and stood there watching Xie Gui kick the commander Yi.
The latter was still arguing, but when he saw Xu Biao, he shut up instantly.
He already understood who betrayed him.
Xie Gui stopped immediately, then turned to look at Liu Wen, who quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Liu Zhizhou, I'm here today. I'll catch whoever you want, I'll catch you. Harding and the others are the fugitive officers who were involved in the assassination of Ambassador Yang. This matter is extraordinary. Bandits plundered and local powerful people colluded to escape.
A lustful officer is suspected of treason and rebellion. This is military service."
Xie Gui said simply.
Liu Wen was only the magistrate of Dengzhou and had no power to enforce the law in Nanyang. What's more, when it came to the health center, it was not under the jurisdiction of local officials.
But Xie Gui came in person with the Henan General Soldier and classified the matter as conspiracy and rebellion, so both soldiers and civilians could be arrested. So Liu Wen only needed to tell him who he wanted to arrest, and he would arrest him. Likewise
With him in charge, any local gentry who dares to resist will directly rebel. He unleashes his troops to kill anyone who deserves it. It can be said that he is serving as Liu Wen's thug as the highest military commander in Henan...
That’s enough face.
but……
"Liu Zhizhou, Commander Yi is a veteran who has followed Emperor Taizu Gao for many years."
Xie Gui was about to speak but stopped.
"Commander, Commander Yi must have been deceived by a traitor. I am able to escape, thanks to the war horses Commander Yi brought, otherwise the cavalry would not have been able to get there in time."
Liu Wen said.
This exchange is very reasonable, otherwise he would not have the right to arrest the Nanyang gentry. Dengzhou actually belongs to Nanyang Prefecture, but it is a scattered state with separate counties.
Xie Gui nodded.
"Commander Yi, how should you think about it yourself!"
Then he kicked Commander Yi and shouted.
Of course, he just told Liu Wen that Commander Yi would be responsible for what happened before.
The latter lay on the ground and cried.
Of course he understands, and if he doesn’t understand, others will help him understand.
Liu Wen immediately resigned and left accompanied by Xu Biao. At this time, a general cautiously approached Xie Gui.
"Captain..."
He hesitated to speak.
Xie Gui looked at him.
"The two prefectures of South and Jiangxi are in rebellion. Henan cannot change at this time. No matter what happens in the future, Henan cannot be used as a scapegoat for others."
Xie Gui then whispered.
The general nodded as if he suddenly understood.
Indeed, you cannot be a scapegoat for others at this time. Compared with Jiangxi's rebellion and Henan's chaos, the latter is obviously more important. Although Henan is much poorer than Jiangxi, this is the Central Plains, and Yang Feng's foundation is in chaos here.
It was cut off, so Yang Feng must solve this side first, and regardless of the public land law in the future, Henan will definitely not do this kind of thing where Henan is the scapegoat for Jiangxi.
Xie Gui lowered his head and looked at Commander Yi, who was still crying.
"Let him be more agile. He is not a sour scholar. He is not afraid of being laughed at when he cries!"
He shouted impatiently.
Then he left without looking back.
The general and several other generals immediately stepped forward, directly picked up Commander Yi, and then dragged him to the main hall while the latter was wailing...
"In-laws, we were all killed on the battlefield. You were also a good man back then, but you just died. Don't make other people laugh at your mother-in-law."
The general said as he walked.
Half an hour later, Liu Wen learned that Commander Yi died of a sudden stroke in the Nanyang Guard Hall because he was eager to kill the thief.
"Cerebral hemorrhage, as mentioned in Ambassador Yang's medical book, means that there are blood vessels in the human body, and our blood flows in them. Sometimes when older people suddenly fall or are too excited, the blood will flow upward.
If you get more excited, it will burst through the blood vessels and pour it into the head. Such people will die very quickly, and there is almost no possibility of treatment. It is not uncommon for Commander Yi to be old. "
Liu Zhizhou used science to explain the cause of his death.
"I see, Liu Zhizhou is indeed very knowledgeable."
Commander Yi's relatives suddenly realized.
Then he pointed forward with the knife in his hand...
"Young men, come to me and arrest all the men of the Li family. How dare you collude with the party and assassinate Liu Zhizhou? This is rebellion and rebellion. Anyone who dares to resist the Yi tribe will be shot without mercy."
He pointed at a large mansion in front and shouted.
Immediately after him, soldiers swarmed up behind him. They carried a log and hit it directly on the door. As the door was knocked open, soldiers like wolves and tigers poured in. The mansion of the largest landowner in Nanyang was immediately filled with people.
There was a scream of terror...
Beijing.
"They are all smart people!"
Yang Feng looked at the report in his hand and sighed.
The rebellion of the Southern and Jiangxi governments actually ended the resistance of the Henan gentry. I have to say that this result is really disappointing.
Xie Gui, who had been waiting and watching in Kaifeng, personally took charge of Nanyang and arrested all the gentry on the list Li Yi had named for Liu Wen. The generals of the Nanyang Guard who originally colluded with the gentry in Nanyang turned into Liu Wen's thugs.
, arresting people, ransacking homes, and cleaning up the bandits and thugs raised by the gentry. But the gentry from other provinces who had already been in a heated situation before leading their clans to rebel in order to safeguard justice and serve as strong backing for the Nanyang gentry quickly calmed down and began to sing about the prosperous age.
.
There were also those who angrily criticized the Nanyang gentry for causing rebellion.
Even the officials from Henan in the imperial court and local governments suddenly seemed to have become more sensible. Several censors from Henan who were originally very strong-willed censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate also suddenly shut up.
And it’s not just Henan.
The Huguang side also became quiet. The gentry in Jingzhou, Anlu and other prefectures, which had been equally agitated, also quickly shut up and began to enthusiastically support the new governor of Huguang, Song Xing.
Everybody understands.
This kind of thing will definitely require troops to be dispatched.
So whoever jumps out at this time will draw firepower to Nangan and act as a scapegoat.
The strategic value there is not high, it is just an extension for the defense of the Jianwen court, but both Huguang and Henan have extremely high strategic value. If Yang Feng wants to solve the problem of southern Jiangxi, he must first ensure the stability of Huguang and Henan. After all, they are both upstream and can flow downstream at any time.
He blocked the entrance of the lake straight down. Therefore, if chaos breaks out in Huguang and Henan, Yang Feng will definitely ignore southern Jiangxi and suppress these two sides first. The gentry on these two sides have no support for the rebellion, and they are better than those who are backed by the Jianwen Dynasty.
Nangan is easy to solve.
The latter is very difficult to fight.
After all, the mountains are high.
Especially since the transportation in the back is smooth, and Guangzhou's military industry is developing rapidly, and it is sitting on the wealth of maritime trade, it will definitely provide full support. If these two governments just stick to it, Yang Feng will really not be able to solve it for a while. If he encounters this again,
If you fail, you won't have the energy to bother other provinces in the future.
We have to let him quickly attack Nangan.
However……
"But this is not bad. After all, peace is the most important thing. As long as they are sensible, we don't need to hold on to them. We will quickly issue an imperial edict and say that Liu Wen will be promoted to the prefect of Nanyang and Li Xin will be promoted to the prefect of Xiangyang. But at the same time, we will give a warning
Liu Wen, ask him to pay attention to the issue of unjust, false and wrongful convictions. How can there be a government where all the gentry are against the party? Even in Xiangyang, there are sensible veterans like Ren Li. Nanyang cannot live without it, right? You want him to find out clearly, so that no one is unjustly accused.
, but if the crime is confirmed, of course it will still be severely punished."
Ambassador Yang said.
"Then when will the order be issued to conquer Southern Gansu?"
Zhang Xianzong asked.
This result is equivalent to Yang Feng telling the two provinces that he is causing harm to Xiangyang and Nanyang and has not considered other places at least in the short term. The gentry from other places can rest assured that it will take several years before the knife falls on your heads.
"Conquest, didn't I say? Peace is the most important thing. Let's send an imperial envoy to inform him first. Why did he suddenly rebel? If you have any grievances, let Xie Jin go. He happens to be from Ji'an, too.
To show our sincerity, if we have any grievances to express, why should we go against it? The Queen Mother has decreed that autumn taxes will be exempted. With such kindness and saintliness, it is at a time when the monarch and the people are singing together in prosperity, why should we go against it?"
Yang Feng said as if he had picked up the wrong script.
Zhang Xianzong looked at him speechlessly.
so……
Why conquest?
There are so many mountains in that area of southern Jiangxi, and there is only one river to transport military supplies and one has to go all the way upstream. In a real fight, we don't know how many people would die.
In fact, Yang Feng has never considered attacking Guangdong from land. If the land army goes south, fighting along the way will inevitably cause a large number of incidental civilian casualties. Even if he can ensure the discipline of his own army, he cannot guarantee the discipline of Jianwen's army. Even if it really fights, it will destroy everything.
It was also a catastrophe for ordinary people. But there was no such problem at sea. A fleet went directly south to Humen without causing any incidental casualties along the way. As long as he was sent to Humen, the rest was for him to rush into Guangzhou and take Zhu Yunwen out.
Anyone who dared to resist would be taken out one by one and bled.
As for the current rebellion in Southern Gansu...
If they like to be rebellious, just do it. If there are others who like to be rebellious, that's fine. Anyway, in the end they will just pick them out one by one and let them bleed.
