Jin Feng was having a meal, and when he heard this, his hands trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal. He asked in a slight manner: "What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he pulled a plate of his favorite dish in front of him.
"Someone rebels!"
As soon as Qingmulan finished speaking, there was a cough on the table.
Except for Xiao E who is still ignorant and Jin Feng who has already guessed, everyone else was choked.
"where?"
Jin Feng secretly thanked that he had the foresight and blocked the plate with his sleeves, otherwise the meal would not be able to be eaten.
"Jinzhou!"
Qing Mulan quickly told the news she received.
In the past, when the imperial court increased taxes, the people would make trouble, but it would be fine if they made trouble for a while. The emperor and the ministers in the court were already used to it.
I thought this time was the same and it would pass soon, but they were wrong. The news sent back from all over the country showed that the people's resistance was extremely fierce.
Memorials from the prefectures and county magistrates in various places all stated that local people fled to refugees, with the large number and wide range of people, which have never happened since the founding of the Dakang Kingdom, and there is a trend of continued growth.
A few days later, Emperor Chen Ji got the first memorial about rebellion since he ascended the throne - when the exiled people in Jinzhou were surrounded by the soldiers, they rebelled with flags and received many responses from the people.
In just a few days, the rebels quickly expanded several times, occupying two county towns in succession and surrounding the county towns.
The governor of the Zhou Dynasty was frightened by the scale and development momentum of the rebels, and immediately sent Hong Ling to Bianjing to ask for help.
"What then?" Jin Feng asked: "What should the court do?"
"What else can I do? Send troops to suppress it.
”
Qing Mulan said: "And I received the news that someone in the court suggested that Brother Qinghuai's Tie Linjun be sent to suppress it.
”
"What?!"
Jin Feng almost choked: "Is the Tie Linjun transferred to suppress the rebellion and let a playboy general like Zhang Qiwei come to guard Qingshuigu?"
Qingshuigu, where is Weizhou City?
That is the northern gate of Dakang!
He had known for a long time that the battle in the Dakang court was very serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious!
These ministers in the court actually ignored the gate because of the battle?
"Sir, you are right, the Zhang family is the one who proposes.
”
Qing Mulan smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe they think that with the catapult cart and heavy crossbow, they can easily block Qingshui Valley like their husbands.
”
"If it were so simple, An Su and Yong'an Army would not have been beaten so badly!"
Jin Feng's face changed in anger: "Is the Zhang family breaking Zhang Qiwei's leg while revenge?"
After all, he had fought in Qingshuigu, and he still had feelings for Qingshuigu and Weizhou City.
Not everyone can win a battle after getting advanced weapons. It is not weapons that ultimately determine the outcome of the war, but those who use the weapons.
Before, the Tielin Army was besieged, General Fan, the commander of the Zhenxi Army, sent Ansu Army and Yong'an Army to rescue. At that time, both armies learned the Macedonian phalanx, and the number of people was more than that of the Dangxiang people, but what's the use?
As soon as he walked halfway, he was killed by the Dangxiang cavalry and abandoned his armor, with most of the casualties!
"Sir, don't be angry. Now it's just a proposal from the Zhang family. Your Majesty is still considering it and has not agreed.
”
Qing Mulan said.
"My God, do you still need to consider this kind of thing?"
Jin Feng covered his cheeks and felt a little tooth pain: "Aren't he afraid that Qingshuigu will be occupied by Dangxiang people?"
Just now, he almost shouted out a foolish lord.
"Maybe His Majesty and the Adults feel that Qingshui Valley has been occupied many times by the Dangxiang people, and it is nothing to occupy it again.
”
Qing Mulan said helplessly: "Brother Qinghuai made great contributions on the border. This time, my uncle used Zhou Wenyuan and got a lot of benefits from the Zhou family in the court. So now the court is full of saying that our Qing family is too ambitious.
The court and military department must be controlled.
Your Majesty originally advocated the art of balance. If you hear such rumors too much, you will naturally want to curb our Qing family.
”
"Can you be the same now as before?"
Jin Feng slapped the table and said, "In the past, Dangxiang people could break through Qingshui Valley at any time, so they didn't care and were too lazy to spend military rations to send people to guard them.
But last time the Dangxiang people suffered a great loss in Qingshuigu, I dare to leave this. If the Dangxiang people take away Qingshuigu again this time, they will never give up. They will definitely send heavy troops to guard it. Tie Linjun wants to stop it again at that time.
It’s hard for Dangxiang people!
Moreover, if the Dangxiang people were allowed to invade, they would never plunder some money. The Han slaves retreated, and they would most likely go straight to the Central Plains!
By the way, what is your uncle's attitude?"
Since ancient times, most emperors have been playing balance. If any minister has the sign of being the dominant one, they will weaken it and then find him an opponent so that the minister will not dominant one.
In peacetime, it is indeed necessary to do this. After all, there are many generals who have rebelled on their own in history.
But now the country is in danger, and the emperor still wants to play the technique of balance. Jin Feng was speechless and could only pin his hopes on Duke Qing.
With the power of Duke Qing, if you strongly oppose it, the situation will still turn around.
“My uncle didn’t make any statement.
”
Qing Mulan replied with some guilt.
Upon hearing this, Jin Feng covered his forehead in disappointment and stopped talking.
Duke Qing did not make any statement, but in fact it already showed his attitude.
"Sir, the people's calls for Tielin Army are too high now. Uncle is also worried that His Majesty will be suspicious of Brother Qinghuai, so he does not object to letting him quell the rebellion and kill Tielin Army's reputation.
”
Qing Mulan explained.
"Stop talking, I understand.
”
Jin Feng waved his hand weakly.
He is not a fool, so he naturally knows Duke Qing’s plan.
From a father and a minister, Duke Qing did nothing wrong. In history, there were many generals killed by the emperor because of his great achievements.
Jin Feng also doesn't want Qinghuai to be one of them either.
But he didn't want the iron hooves of the alien race to trample on the Central Plains and slaughter their compatriots.
"Is Dakang really helpless?"
Jin Feng sighed in his heart.
The emperor was incompetent, and the ministers had their own thoughts and were all planning their own little plans.
This made Jin Feng feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
The idea of rebellion even flashed through my mind.
But it was quickly suppressed.
Because he knew that it was okay to fiddle with the machinery himself, but it was not a material for government affairs.
Even the current Xihewan stall made him feel a headache and he wanted to throw it all over to the village chief, let alone let him manage a country.
There is no such talent among the people he trusts.
The consequences of rebellion are likely to be to mess up the world and end up not being able to end.
Instead of doing this, it is better to be a spectator in this small mountain village and live the little life you dream of in your previous life.
Jin Feng has made it clear that he doesn't want to talk anymore. If it were normal, Qing Mulan would never continue to be entangled.
But this time, Qing Mulan did not leave, but continued, "Sir, I have something I want to discuss with you.
