Mingyue Qingfeng (67) (Mingyue Qingfeng (67) arrived in Sichuan...)
Bright Moon and Breeze(67)
When I arrived in Sichuan, I couldn’t explain why I didn’t see the governor!
The governor is Xu Keqiu, this person... is an ordinary Ming official! He has the advantages of the Ming officials, and he also has the shortcomings of the Ming officials.
Just such a person!
When Lin Yutong came, he greeted him. He always greeted Lin Yutong outside the courtyard gate, so he had to communicate with the governor, and someone needed to pass the message in between.
Originally, Mr. Song was arranged.
It is a pity that Mr. Song is not an official, but he is an official. As long as he does not come from a formal imperial examination, he will not look down on him.
Lin Yutong said, “Then please ask General Qin to convey it to you?”
General Qin smiled bitterly: "...I also met you through a curtain, with more than a dozen people in the room."
Lin Yutong was stunned: How can you say it's a secret?
Yes! I can’t go!
Then who will go?
Call Chen Fa? Sorry, people look down on eunuchs.
Call Wang Baihu? I'm sorry, Jin Yiwei doesn't look down on him either. They are all cruel officials!
Lin Yutong: "..." This time it was scratching! It felt uncomfortable just to look at it.
We really ignore people like this, "General Qin, we will do it ourselves!"
OK! You give your orders.
Everyone guessed that we were here to deal with Sichuan affairs, and some even said that we were here for She Chongming.
Of course, Xu Keqiu didn’t think so. When he reported outside, he once mentioned that the chieftains are loyal and loyal. Isn’t it obvious what he meant?
Lin Yutong said, "General Qin will deliver the reward on my behalf! If the extravagant lady An wants to come and pay her respects, just agree."
General Qin didn't ask any more questions and went the same day. Three days later, She Chongming's wife, An, brought her daughter, escorted by his son She Yin, to pay Lin Yutong's greetings.
The queen's reputation has long been spread, and everyone knows that she has killed many people and taken care of many things along the way. She is a powerful character.
Lin Yutong did not deliberately pretend to be weak. He was dressed in men's clothing. When he met the mother and daughter, he said, "It's such a hot day. I didn't want to work for you. I haven't seen any official family members in Chongqing. But I thought about the rumors outside.
It is sheer nonsense to speculate that the Emperor is suspicious of She Gong and that I am here specifically to deal with this matter. The Emperor believes in She Gong’s loyalty, and Chongqing is just a place passing through. You also know that in the heat, you will not be able to make it on your way.
It's autumn. It's time for me to set off. I'll go down the river to the land of two rivers... In September, I have to return to Beijing by water again. I'm here in Sichuan this time. I don't know if I will have a chance in this life.
Come again."
Liangjiang is a heavily taxed area, and it seems that this matter is much bigger than other matters in time for the autumn harvest.
An said: "Don't worry, Madam, the She family is loyal and never dares to be submissive. There are many villains in the world, and they always like to make things out of nothing!"
Yes! Yes! You are right.
Lin Yutong changed the topic and only talked about the customs and habits of the Yi people. He talked for an hour, brought a lot of things, and sent the people away.
As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out, She Yin came to greet them, "How was it?"
The aunt of the She family said: "She is still a little girl! She is about ten years old, even younger than the girls in our family."
The nunzi is talking about this aunt's eldest granddaughter.
She Yin looked at her mother, "What do you think?"
"It doesn't look big!" An said in a low voice, "But from the things I heard, I don't really believe that this empress is a coward."
She Yin hurriedly said: "My son has inquired about it, and the ones he brought are all good ones. I don't know the background of the short one who showed up, but I think he must be with the queen. I'm afraid he has a good background. The eunuch who followed him said he was a former great master."
The adopted son of the eunuch Chen Ju..."
"Chen Ji's adopted son?" She Chongming stood up and muttered, "Chen Ji is not an ordinary person!"
That's right! Even if Chen Ju's adopted son is only half as capable as Chen Ju, then it's not surprising what happened along the way.
She Chongming said: "If it is for the matter of Liangjiang, why don't we just ask Chen Fa to go? Why does the empress have to follow me?" "The empress has a good reputation for killing people, but eunuchs kill people...there will be chaos in the court!"
When She Yin said this, She Chongming nodded, which was reasonable. He then asked, "The old lady...are you still advocating that the imperial court does not tax taxes?"
Yes! She Yin said, "Fortunately, General Luo's heart is towards us. Otherwise, many things would be difficult to handle."
Um!
She Yin said: "If you let the old lady continue to advocate like this, people will be confused! You also know that the nearest military reclamation site from our place is less than half a day's journey. This year, many sweet potatoes were planted there, and later corn... Look at that
It looks like the sweet potato harvest is really going to be bumper... The people inside receive food on a monthly basis. Men receive as much as women receive. These are all rationed! Even the children are the same, how much are they before the age of three, from three to six years old?
How much, from six to ten years old... The food is divided very finely. The food for girls is the same as that for boys... Many families give birth to girls who don't want them, and they are picked up by the military reclamation. When they go there, they recognize them and give them the same food.
food……"
If the commotion continues like this, everyone on the mountain will want to go down! These soldiers under my command are all people from the tribe. If they serve as soldiers for their own family and as soldiers for the court, and they get different treatment, then of course they will choose the court.
People's hearts will be in chaos!
She Yin said: "If you really want to...then you have to hurry up! If you change your mind, just..."
Just what? You also know that the court's tactics are intended to disturb people's hearts! If we don't rebel, all the people in the tribe will go down the mountain to work for the court. We are the chieftains, so who will we be the chieftains for?
Rebel! Damn rebel! While the queen is here, even the little queen is blocking the city! With two to three hundred royal guards, they want to go to Sichuan, but they are still too young! They think everyone is a coward!
She Yin said: "But this move of troops and horses will make people alert!"
"Please go to Liaodong to fight. Just say... we are willing to mobilize 20,000 troops to support the battle in Liaodong."
She Yin frowned, "This must be a good deal."
How many days does this come and go? Besides, the emperor may not give his permission.
She Chongming said: "I will go to Xu Keqiu personally. After I left, I gave an order to Fan and Zhang Tong, asking them to lead troops to attack Chongqing..." Aren't you in danger?
"I left the city in less than an hour. I just wanted to let Xu Keqiu know that we had this intention. I just wanted to prevent him from having an overreaction when the troops moved."
"What about Luo Qianxiang?"
Luo Qianxiang stays behind! We can talk about other things after we capture Chongqing!
So, Xu Keqiu met She Chongming, who was actively seeking war, "...To tell you the truth, I am also moved by the imperial court's military reclamation! The tribes have been arranged, and the soldiers are willing to fight for the imperial court. You don't know that the military reclamation closest to us is
, it makes people jealous. When we go to war, we don’t ask for anything else, we just ask for the same accommodation as the imperial court..."
No wonder! Xu Keqiu said: "What I say about this matter does not count."
"The queen lives behind, and the queen has the final say!"
Xu Keqiu waved his hand, "Nonsense! How can a woman interfere in court affairs?"
She Chongming said in a low voice: "But the voices below can't be suppressed! Now we can allocate a place for us, and we can grow autumn crops for a season... Look..."
I'll send you the information first, and you'll have to wait for a reply. I'll get a reply within two months.
"Okay! But we agreed, as soon as possible! I have to rush back quickly, lest the people below don't know and come to challenge the Queen." Then hurry up! Don't let it go to such nonsense.
Yeah yeah!
They left. When Xu Keqiu received news in the evening that 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses were pressing on the border outside the city, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you making a fuss! The city gates are closed and no one is allowed to enter the city without permission."
yes!
"Are you outside the city?" Lin Yutong opened his eyes and looked at the red lady.
The red lady nodded, "We have arrived outside the city. It is consistent with the news sent by the old lady, 20,000 troops!"
"Is there any news about General Qin?"
Yes! General Luo led his people to steal She Chongming's escape route, "...the old lady is very honest and did not play around in this matter."
"Where is Xu Keqiu? Didn't you send anyone here?"
"No!" Chen Fa whispered, "But he is also alert and hastily summoned all officials in the city to discuss matters at the Yamen."
This Xu Keqiu!
While he was talking here, Wang Baihu came up in a hurry, "All the officials in the city have gone to the city wall."
The city wall of Chongqing at this time was newly built in the Ming Dynasty and had 17 gates. There was a serious shortage of troops.
This group of people with big hearts are not afraid of people trying to open the door, come in and kill you directly!
She stood up immediately, "Let's go! Hurry!"
At the city gate, Xu Keqiu shouted down: "Where is She Chongming? Ask him to speak."
Fan Long shouted: "Isn't it at the governor's house? Why do we need people?"
This person is She Chongming's son-in-law. Xu Kezhi hurriedly asked: "Your father-in-law has gone back a long time ago?"
No! I’ve never met him along the way. I’m going to Liaodong, and I’m still waiting for my father-in-law’s token!
"Stop being verbose, go back first..."
"It's not that we won't retreat. My father-in-law went out to get some food and grass, but now the food and grass are missing... If there are no people, what do you want us to do?" He shouted from below, "Do you think this is okay? There are so many of us here.
We haven’t eaten all day! I’ll send a team of one to five hundred people to transport some food so that we can open fire.”
"You barbarian, you are so unreasonable! When you go on an expedition, you must bring three days' worth of rations with you. Why are you hungry for one day? I will discuss the matter with your father-in-law in detail, so you can go back first!"
Fan Long shouted: "It's done! It's okay if we can't get enough food and fodder! But you can give us a handwriting and explain the reason why we returned without success! Otherwise, we will have to face military law when we go back! In this way, I will take fifty
Come up alone and we’ll discuss it in detail.”
Xu Keqiu hesitated and looked at the twenty or so people behind him, "How about it? Fifty people...that's no problem, right?"
Fifty people, what's the hindrance?! No matter how few people we have guarding the city, there are still two to three hundred people in each gate. Call us, call us and ask what's going on?
Fan Long pointed his fifty fingers behind him, said nothing, and went inside with his sword in his hand.
After entering the city gate, there were two people left. When we went up the city wall, there were two more people left at the entrance. There were only two people left at every corner. When we got to the outside of the city, there were only about thirty people in total.
