The officers and soldiers who came to report were covered with snowflakes and looked miserable.
When he arrived in front of the high platform, he was already kneeling on the ground holding the memorial.
"Your Majesty, please report that Japanese coal mine workers from various places in Shanxi Province have taken advantage of the cold winter snow to attack and kill miners, occupy mining areas, seize arsenals, and privately manufacture weapons. They have swept through Meng County, Shouyang, Leping, Pingding Prefecture and other places.
There were also Japanese workers rebelling in Baodezhou, Hequ, Piantou Pass and other places, seizing mining areas and attacking the city."
After the officers and soldiers reported, Gao Yangzhi on the stage had already walked quickly to the front of the stage.
"There are officers and soldiers from the local guard station, as well as soldiers from the city government!"
The officers and soldiers said nervously: "The Japanese bandits took advantage of the heavy snowfall and started at night. They first seized the mining area, then disguised themselves as miners and knocked on the city to ask for help. When they entered the four cities of Meng County, Shouyang, Leping, and Pingding Prefecture, they
The people ambushed outside the city should cooperate with each other to seize the city.
The officers and soldiers in the four cities were caught off guard and were not prepared, so they were all killed by the Japanese bandits. All the government officials were brutally killed.
Japanese pirates seized mining areas in Baodezhou, Hequ and other places, motivating local officers and soldiers to clear them out. Due to the large number of Japanese pirates, the war between the two sides was intense."
Gao Yangzhi took a deep breath and turned to look at the emperor's grandson behind him.
At this time, Zhu Fan and others had also stepped forward.
"At this time, the Japanese workers actually rebelled." Zhu Fan looked solemn and worried: "It must be Changsun Gong, Li Wenxiang and their gang. They want to cause chaos in the entire Shanxi Province."
Gao Yangzhi looked worried and said with a sad face: "Chang Sun Gong and others are dead, now it is time to make a decision to pacify the Japanese bandits. However, Taiyuan City is not yet stable, and there are such disturbances in the local area. In addition, the Japanese bandits
There are so many of them, and if they are not handled properly, I’m afraid this mess will get bigger and bigger.”
"The four cities in Meng County are close by, but Baodezhou is far away. However, the news arrived at the same time today. It can be seen that the Japanese pirates in Baodezhou made the first move." Zhu Han inferred in a deep voice from the side, with a murderous look in his eyes.
"That's the place reserved by Li Wenxiang, Liu Zongsheng and the others."
Just as everyone was preparing to solve the newly emerging problems, Abu, who had been ignored for the moment, made a voice behind everyone.
Zhu Fan immediately turned around and frowned: "What can you say? But they have prepared a way to escape after failure?"
Zhu Yunxi and Gao Yangzhi also turned around at this time, staring at Abu and me carefully.
Abu nodded: "It is indeed the place they left behind. Once the incident was revealed or the uprising failed, they fled Shanxi. It was also the place where they originally prepared to lead troops into Shanxi."
After Abu explained it to me in this way, everyone immediately understood.
Gao Yangzhi turned to look at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, Liu Zongsheng and others are fleeing towards the old camp."
"No."
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said: "They will definitely choose another way to escape from Shanxi now."
Liu Zongsheng and the others were not fools. They knew clearly what happened in the city last night. They were aware of it and had laid out the plan long ago. They would definitely doubt whether their arrangement in the direction of the old camp was also discovered.
At this time, there is a high probability that they will not choose to escape Shanxi from the direction of Laoyingbao, but will choose another place.
Zhu Yunxi said: "The urgent task now is not the whereabouts of Liu Zongsheng and others, but to suppress the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Shanxi Province."
Under the hatred of the country and the family, how much power and influence can these rebellious Japanese people unleash? Based on Zhu Yunxi's understanding of the Japanese people, he can't help but feel a little worried.
Zhu Fan frowned and said coldly: "The Japanese bandits are not familiar with the terrain of Shanxi and have no weapons. It is the cold winter at this time. In addition, they are facing a siege from the imperial court. Their hearts are definitely unstable and their combat power needs to be considered.
In this case, although there are many Japanese pirates, there is no need to worry too much.
There are not many mining areas along the line from Baodezhou to Laoyingbao, and the number of Japanese bandits is smaller than elsewhere. It is estimated that only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are needed to pacify them one by one.
In the four cities of Meng County, the mineral veins are concentrated, and the number of Japanese pirates used is countless. In addition, it is closer to Taiyuan City. If you go west, you can besiege Taiyuan, and if you go south, you can enter Liaozhou, which will cause even greater disasters.
We should use heavy troops to clear them out, and your Highness can also write the right guard of the Shenwu of Zhending Mansion to enter Shanxi from the well and attack the Japanese bandits from both sides to quell the Japanese trouble."
The word "Japanese plague" comes out.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt some inexplicable feelings.
This word has not appeared in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. The Japanese pirates on the southeast coast that often appeared in court reports at that time unexpectedly occurred in the back of the Central Plains far away from the coast.
"Deploy 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Jin Palace and 5,000 soldiers and horses to the Taiyuan garrison, and hand them over to Shanxi Daodu Commander-in-Chief Sidu to command Qianshi Wei Ben to take charge of the Japanese pirates from Taiyuan to Zhenbao Dezhou to Laoyingbao Station."
Zhu Yunxi quickly made up his mind, faced the crowd, and spoke in a deep voice.
Wei Ben, the commander-in-chief who was just in front of the stage, immediately clasped his hands and said, "I accept your order."
Zhu Yunxi added: "I ordered Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, to lead 10,000 troops to camp in Beijing, 5,000 troops to guard the palace of the Jin Dynasty, and 5,000 troops to Taiyuan garrison. A total of 20,000 troops were ordered to leave Taiyuan in the east to suppress the Qing Dynasty.
The Japanese pirates in the city. Xingwen Shenwu right guard, marched westward to Shanxi, assisted in suppressing the bandits, and was under the temporary control of Marquis Jingchuan."
Cao Zhen was filled with murderous intent, his steps were heavy, and he stepped forward and clenched his fists: "I, I will obey your grandson's orders!"
Seeing Cao Zhen and Wei Ben, they had already ordered their soldiers to leave outside the school grounds.
Zhu Yunxi turned around, looked at Abu Ji'an, and said quietly: "You should do what Wei Qian did."
A Bu was so happy that he could not imagine that if he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty today, he would be reused.
He immediately clasped his fists and got down on one knee: "I accept the order and will live up to His Highness's expectations."
After finishing speaking, Abu clenched his fists and slowly retreated.
Zhu Yunxi smiled at this time and said softly: "Take the post of an official of one thousand households. I will follow up and wait for the imperial court to reward you."
A Bu, who had just stepped down from the stage, stopped for a moment and turned around quickly.
Abu'an's face was full of joy and his expression was moved. He cupped his fists and said loudly: "I thank you, Your Highness."
After saying that, he waved his robe again, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand.
Then he looked at the school grounds, which were about to be cleaned up, and called Gao Yangzhi and others in front of them.
"The news in Taiyuan City is slow to come out. Now Taiyuan has just experienced turmoil. We must hurry up and follow the evidence left by the officials in Taiyuan City before the local area knows about it. We can follow the clues to eliminate the local officials and gentry in Shanxi Road and restore a bright future to Shanxi."
Gao Yangzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet. At present, apart from Zhu Yunxi, he was the most powerful person in Shanxi Province who could speak out and exercise power.
Gao Yangzhi stepped forward and said: "I have arranged for manpower to do it. Try to clarify the officialdom of Shanxi Dao before the New Year. Anyone who is an unjust judge should be imprisoned and punished."
This is the future first assistant of the Ming Dynasty that satisfies him more than Xie Jin.
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face: "When things are done in the spring breeze, be at ease alone. It will take time to rectify the administration of Shanxi Tao officials. The money and food obtained by the lawless people must be accounted for as soon as possible. After finishing the errands as soon as possible, I want to go back to Beijing...
…”
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Yunxi's brows showed a little sadness.
Gao Yangzhi, Zhu Fan and others saw it in their eyes, but did not dare to speak.
You should know that the crippled man was heading north to track down Liu Zongsheng and others because Qiuniang had lost her baby.
In this situation, the emperor's grandson probably misses the child in the capital.
…
"What's the scene like in Beijing right now?"
Surrounded by mountains, the official road of the Ming Dynasty runs east and west. Zhu Di, King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, dressed in military uniform, sits high on a horse and looks at the Shanxi Road outside the mountain pass. He is full of energy and speaks loudly.
"It must be a prosperous scene."
The commander of the Hebei capital, Si Du, commanded the Qianshi, and Zhang Zhiyuan, the guard commander of the Prince of Yan's palace, was behind Zhu Di on horseback. He spoke lightly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
It was agreed that he would lead the army south and turn into Shanxi Road, but within a few days, His Highness King Yan came over with his people.
If this person and that person meet each other and he is nearby, wouldn't it be like a Shura field?
However, Zhu Di did not know what his confidant and favorite general was thinking. He was full of lofty ideals and had the majesty of a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.
"The prosperous age is like a fire. I want to see who dares to throw water on the fire and disturb the prosperous age."
Zhu Di gave up the Northern Expedition, so he first sent Zhang Zhiyuan to lead his troops south, and then personally commanded the troops to catch up, in order to enter the Shanxi Road and assist Zhu Yunxi in wiping out the rebels on the Shanxi Road.
They had just entered Shanxi Road today, but they didn't know that Taiyuan City was already safe at this moment.
Zhang Zhiyuan echoed: "His Royal Highness Taisun is in charge of Shanxi, and at this moment, the prince is leading troops to help. No matter how many years of young people, they can't make a big splash."
Zhu Di laughed for a while, then frowned and looked at Zhang Zhiyuan: "It's rare for Zhiyuan to say a few words of flattery today."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled, he was afraid.
Zhu Di waved his hand and turned to look at the long marching team behind him: "Sent scouts to rush to Taiyuan City and tell His Highness Taisun that I have brought people to help him."
Following the order from King Yan.
In the marching team, a group of cavalry scouts suddenly broke away from the group, rushed out of the official road, and ran forward along the official road.
Looking at the retreating figures of the scouts.
Only then did Zhu Di calm down, turned around and said in a low voice: "Zhiyuan, I guess that Brother Xi's patrol to the north this time may not only be to wipe out the rebels, but also to personally lead the troops to march north."
Zhang Zhiyuan looked puzzled and thought about it and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun is young but brave. He also has the experience of marching south to Jiaozhi. If he really leads the frontier army to march north this time, it is possible."
He felt that he knew the young man better than King Yan.
The Northern Expedition is said to be the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty, but as long as that person is given a chance, he will definitely lead the Ming Dynasty's army into the grassland.
Zhu Di sighed and looked at Zhang Zhiyuan strangely.
"Zhiyuan."
"The end is here!"
"You don't understand what I mean."
Zhang Zhiyuan's face became more confused: "What the prince means..."
Zhu Di held the riding whip in his hand and nodded at Zhang Zhiyuan twice. He said with a bit of hatred: "What the king wants is that if brother He really wants to go to the north, I will put you into the expedition team. When the time comes,
You should show your skills well in front of brother Hei and kill more thieves. Once the trouble is over, I can find a good job for you."
"this……"
Zhang Zhiyuan was stunned, he did not expect that King Yan actually meant this.
Zhu Di hummed twice and looked sideways at Zhang Zhiyuan: "I know that you are worried that you, who followed Brother Wen back then, will make Brother Hen dislike you because of Brother Wen.
But now, Brother Hen can take the initiative to suggest that Brother Wen's wedding should be based on the county-king system. I want to do it right for you, let alone care about it in the first place.
Zhiyuan, if you work hard, I will ensure that you have a hereditary and irreplaceable title."
Draw a pie?
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head in his heart. King Yan was not a person who liked the pie. In just a few years, he had become the most watched general in the Peiping Dusi, which was inseparable from King Yan's appreciation and recommendation.
When he said that he would be guaranteed a hereditary and non-replaceable title, he was absolutely not lying.
But the more King Yan acted like this, the more Zhang Zhiyuan felt tortured.
Just when Zhang Zhiyuan didn't know how to answer.
In front of the official road, two blood-stained scouts had already rushed back. The sound of horse hooves helped Zhang Zhiyuan temporarily avoid the painful topic.
He looked at the scout who came back within a quarter of an hour, frowned and stepped forward: "What happened!"
A scout lay on his horse and raised his head with difficulty: "General! There are rebels... The Japanese workers on Shanxi Road have rebelled! There are rebels in front of them, and they are rushing this way."
Zhang Zhiyuan's expression changed dramatically, he immediately turned his horse's head and said, "Follow me to the prince."
In a blink of an eye.
Zhang Zhiyuan had already led a large group, but only two scouts came back, and arrived in front of Zhu Di.
The previous situation has been reported in detail by the scouts.
The marching group had also stopped at this time.
Zhu Di had a straight face and gloomy eyes: "How dare a bunch of coal diggers rebel?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we don't know the number of enemy troops at the moment, nor do we know what the situation is in the direction of Taiyuan. If... Your Majesty will stay here, and the last general will lead the troops to stop the enemy troops and investigate.
Clear up the status quo.”
Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but be cautious at this time.
As soon as they entered Shanxi Road, there were rebels in front of them, the same group of Japanese workers brought back from Yingzhou to dig coal. God knows whether Taiyuan City was still intact under such circumstances.
What makes Zhang Zhiyuan even more worried is that no one knows what the current situation is in Taiyuan City, what kind of situation the emperor's grandson is in, and what kind of situation he is facing.
If things have taken a turn for the worst, the grandson will be in danger and the King of Jin may not be able to save himself.
At this time, King Yan must not be in trouble, otherwise not only the Shanxi Road, but also the entire pass east of the Great Wall will be in danger.
Zhu Di snorted coldly and pulled out the sword from his waist: "I have never been afraid of some little thieves!"
He was really angry.
There are rebels in Shanxi who want to cause trouble. Now even a group of coal diggers whose country and clan were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty have rebelled.
Is this when the Ming Dynasty is about to die?
Zhu Di raised the long sword in his hand, tightened the reins in his hand, and the war horse turned on the official road.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, faced the army and raised his arms and shouted.
