Feng Qingchen felt that she must have saved the Milky Way in her previous life to be so lucky. Not only did she guess what happened in Jiangnan accurately, but it also broke out when she was about to leave...
"You insist on me enjoying the baptism of war, right? You won't let me go when you come to Jiangnan. God, I am really not your biological child."
She thought that when she came to the pure land of Jiangnan, she wouldn't have to worry about war. However, before she left, something happened in Jiangnan and a war broke out.
Feng Qingchen gritted his teeth, wishing he could drag out all the rebels and let Guo Baoji feed him a poison each.
Unfortunately, the rebels had already fled the city and the culprit could not be found. Feng Qingchen could only vent his anger on the King of Jiangnan and the King of Qing.
"I'm really impressed by you. People have put their hands into your bowl. You don't know anything about it. You think the people of Jiangnan are so kind and beautiful." Feng Qingchen gritted his teeth in anger. Prince Qing and Jiangnan
Wang should be glad that it is her who is here today and not the Nine Emperors Uncle, otherwise these two people would have to shed a layer of skin even if they did not die.
Jiangnan is the most important rear area for Uncle Nine Emperors. If something happens, Uncle Nine Emperors will definitely kill their relatives and imprison these two people for the rest of their lives.
"This matter... it is indeed our negligence." King Jiangnan and King Qing looked ashamed, wishing they could kill themselves with a knife.
The Jiangnan Rebellion was caused by internal supernatural powers and external ghosts. Their people colluded with the local wealthy people in Jiangnan and led people to rob official silver and official grain.
There were only fifty thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, but their men led tens of thousands of people to rebel. Add to that the domestic soldiers raised by the local wealthy people in Jiangnan, and the young and strong men they absorbed, the rebel army totaled twenty thousand.
There are so many people.
For Jiangnan, this is definitely a powerful force, not to mention that there are several unpredictable masters among the rebels, who are really difficult to guard against.
Feng Qingchen let out a breath and saw that King Jiangnan and King Qing were blaming themselves. No matter how much they blamed themselves, they couldn't express themselves. Instead, he comforted them: "The other party has calculated it in his mind and you have no intention. It's normal for you not to know. You can only be a thief all day long.
There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days, but fortunately you have made preparations in advance, and only a small part of the official silver and official rations were robbed."
If not for this, the other side would not have stationed troops outside the borders of Jiangnan, preparing to attack Jiangnan and seize official silver and official rations.
"Although the loss this time is not heavy, the area south of the Yangtze River is also very dangerous. We only have 40,000 troops, and we don't know when the imperial reinforcements will arrive." Although the King of Qing had always wanted to lead troops on an expedition, he had never thought about it.
The battlefield will be in Jiangnan.
If Jiangnan is affected by the war, I don't know if it will affect next year's tax revenue.
"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to come and go. Instead of waiting for reinforcements, it is better to save yourself." In this era when communications are extremely underdeveloped, Uncle Nine Emperors, who is far away in the imperial city, wants to know the situation in Jiangnan.
Queen of Heaven. After the Nine Emperors Uncles found out, it took another ten days and a half to send troops. By then, the day lilies were already cold.
"Without reinforcements, we have little chance of winning. Although our troops are twice as large as the opponent's, we still need to keep people to guard the official rations and ensure order in the city to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. The most important thing is that we don't know what's inside the city.
How many others are related to the rebels?" Any one of them would be troublesome, and the King of Qing would have a headache just thinking about it.
If it was to defend against foreign enemies, fifty thousand troops was really not a small number. The Qing king was not afraid of a battle at all, but civil strife was a troublesome matter. He not only had to resist the opponent's attack, but also suppress the civil strife, so he was somewhat short of manpower.
"Ordinary people will not seek death, but will participate in the rebellion. In all likelihood, they are local wealthy people. Since we don't know if there are any spies in Jiangnan, we will arrest them all." Feng Qingchen firmly believed that in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. At this time,
Can't be soft-hearted.
King Qing frowned slightly, obviously disapproving of it, but King Jiangnan nodded slightly: "It is a good idea not to lose it."
"Is it okay to disturb the people like this?" The Qing king was very strict in managing the army and never allowed his soldiers to disturb the people, let alone oppress the people.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Don't forget that there are rebels among them." King Jiangnan's brows and eyes were full of murderous aura, and the aura revealed made ordinary people dare not look at him: "Ziqing..."
When King Jiangnan called him, King Qing couldn't help but stood up, clasped his hands in his fists, lowered his head and said, "My brother is here."
After he finished speaking, King Qing realized that he had made a mistake. He quickly looked at Feng Qingchen and saw Feng Qingchen looking up at the sky, as if he didn't hear anything. King Qing couldn't help laughing, and the tense atmosphere was relieved.
…
The King of the Qing Dynasty was not an excellent leader, but he was definitely an excellent soldier. He strictly followed the orders of the King of Jiangnan and "invited" every family of local wealthy people from Jiangnan to the palace. All those who were related to the rebels by marriage were "invited"
"To the prison.
If any family refused to cooperate, the Qing king directly ordered his subordinates to take action and "invite" all of them to the prison. Anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy.
Under the iron-blooded hand of the Qing King, these wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan behaved like their grandchildren. The Qing King asked them to go east, but they would never dare to go west. Occasionally, if there were a few who had a guilty conscience, the Qing King would directly kill them.
.
The matter went smoothly, but within one day, the King of Qing "invited" all the people. The palace was so full of people that Feng Qingchen and the others had no choice but to live in the government office with King Jiangnan.
In addition to "inviting" all the family members of the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, the King of Jiangnan also "invited" all the family members of his officials to one place, euphemistically called it protection.
If any official sends his family away in advance, he will have no choice but to go to jail. There is no other way, you will be highly suspected.
After such actions, the hidden dangers within Jiangnan have been basically suppressed, and now the rebels have to be dealt with.
"The rebels are originally from Jiangnan and are very familiar with the terrain of Jiangnan. If they want to hide, we will not be able to find them for a while. Moreover, we do not have enough troops and cannot extend the front. If the rebels run too far, we will
We can only focus on defense." When it comes to political struggle, the king of Jiangnan is the king, but when it comes to fighting, only the king of Qing has the right to speak.
"So, we can only wait for them to come to the door before we take action?" Feng Qingchen didn't know much about the war, but he also knew that this method of fighting was too passive and would be very disadvantageous to them.
"That's the only way." King Qing nodded heavily.
Since they couldn't get exact information about the rebels, they naturally couldn't send troops out. If the rebels got into trouble, Jiangnan wouldn't be able to defend it.
Feng Qingchen frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Those wealthy businessmen you imprisoned in the prison are all related by marriage to the rebels. Even if they did not participate in the rebellion, they probably know something. Rebellious people are punished by the Nine Clan.
They are also among the nine tribes who are guilty of capital crimes. If King Jiangnan promises them in the name of the court that the court can pardon their crimes as long as they provide useful information or are willing to make up for their mistakes, do you think they will betray their in-laws?
"
Human nature is something that cannot stand the test. Feng Qingchen wants to know, when it comes to the lives of the whole family, how will these people choose?
