Yang Tinghe took a short rest, and went out in person to visit the big families in the south of the Yangtze River the next day. Just as Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and others said, these big families in the south of the Yangtze River welcomed Yang Tinghe's visit in reverse, even if Yang Tinghe was the imperial court.
Even if he is a repeat offender, they treat him as a distinguished guest.
One family, two families, it can be said that most of the wealthy families in Jiangnan were all visited by Yang Tinghe.
However, in less than half a month, except for a few of the wealthy families in Jiangnan who were hesitant, most of them took practical actions to support Prince Ning under Yang Tinghe's persuasion.
These wealthy families have been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. Each of them can be said to have a fortune of tens of millions, especially the grain they have hoarded. It may not be too much for one family, but if so many families are added together, it is really amazing.
What an army needs most in battle is food and ordnance.
The Ming Dynasty had extremely strict control over ordnance. Even these wealthy families could only hide some weapons in private, and they really did not dare to privately manufacture weapons on a large scale.
However, these wealthy families control various mines in the Jiangnan area, and also control many craftsmen. They have craftsmen and raw materials. If they are willing, they can continuously create the required weapons in a short period of time.
A large amount of grain and grass were transported out of each family's granary with the help of large ships. However, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass were gathered in just a few days. The most important thing is that this is only a part of it.
According to the promises of those big families, as long as King Ning needs it, if they unite and provide another million dan of food for King Ning, it won't be a problem.
Hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and fodder are enough for tens of thousands of troops for several months. In addition, King Ning has also hoarded a large amount of grain and grass for the rebellion in recent years. The total amount is nearly one million stones of grain and grass. Even if King Ning then raises an army, he will go on a rampage.
There will definitely be no problems with expanding the army and supplying food and grass.
Many craftsmen who were transferred from the mines were building various military weapons one by one. It can be said that in order to support King Ning, these wealthy families really worked hard.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, the smile on Prince Ning's face has not disappeared these days. Seeing so many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River providing food and weapons to support themselves, Prince Ning is naturally extremely excited every day.
At this moment, King Ning was asking Yang Tinghe for advice: "Sir, now that the food and fodder are ready, the weapons will be ready in at most half a month. I wonder when is the right time for me to raise an army?"
As soon as Yang Tinghe came out, he attracted the support of many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. This made King Ning regard Yang Tinghe as a ally. It can be said that he asked Yang Tinghe for advice every day. His appearance of a polite and virtuous corporal was very much like a virtuous king.
Yang Tinghe sipped the tea that exuded the fragrance of tea, slowly shook his head and said: "Wait!"
Prince Ning was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Wait?"
Yang Tinghe put down the tea cup and said with a serious expression: "As the saying goes, the time, place and people are favorable. Now we are ready for everything and are waiting for the imperial court to deliver the rightful name to us."
Prince Ning's eyes lit up and he said: "I understand, Sir, what you mean is that when the imperial court takes action against the Zhu family, then I can ascend to the top and make a cry, and win the hearts of the world's literati!"
At the county government office in Jianyang County, Fuzhou, County Magistrate Peng Chun watched Chu Yi and his party gradually disappear into the distance, and it took a long time before he turned around and returned to the city.
The Zhu family members were escorted to the capital by the army led by Cheng Xiangwu, but Chu Yi's trip to the south also came to an end.
The chamberlain previously sent by the emperor had conveyed his intention to call him back to the capital. If that was all, Chu Yi would not be busy returning to the capital. The main reason was that not long ago, Chu Yi received news from Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
.
Chu Yike has never forgotten such a farce of rebellion caused by a rebel king during the Zhengde period.
Although the Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's Rebellion did not have a significant impact on the history of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings rebelled, but they were put down after more than a month. It looked like a farce, and Ning Wang also became a clown.
character.
But Chu Yi has never underestimated King Ning who dared to rebel. It can be said that in this era, any vassal king or powerful person who dares to rebel is not a fool.
They are not those small farmers who have nothing. They themselves have nothing. Even if they rebel, the most they will risk is their own lives.
However, the vassal kings and powerful people, who enjoy fine clothes, delicious food, endless glory and wealth, still dare to rebel under such circumstances, they are either really fools or ambitious people.
Prince Ning was not an incompetent person. He was able to raise private soldiers and make weapons privately under the supervision of the imperial court. This was not something that a brainless clown could do.
It can only be said that the era in which King Ning lived did not have the environment for his success. Although the people were in poverty, they were not to the point where they could not survive. The land south of the Yangtze River was prosperous in commerce. Although most of the people lost their fields, they could rely on
Working for people to survive.
In fact, not many people are willing to risk their lives to rebel as long as they can survive. Therefore, the people of Jiangnan are determined and there is no environment for rebellion at all.
Just like in history, even when the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, the northern land was full of wandering bandits, causing great harm to the Ming Dynasty. The people in the north could say that they were indifferent to the rebels such as King Chuang, but the south was still prosperous.
As before, it is true that business girls do not know the hatred for the country's subjugation, and they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river.
It is precisely because the people in the south can survive that not many people are willing to rebel. Instead of having expectations for rebels, they are extremely resistant.
This is also one of the reasons why there was no large-scale rebellion in Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
King Ning's defeat was at the hands of both sides. Since he had raised his army, he had to go all out. He could either go straight to Nanjing City and occupy the land south of the Yangtze River to confront the imperial court across the river, or follow the example of his ancestors and go straight to the capital. If he occupied the capital, the world would be settled.
It's a pity that King Ning's rebellion turned into a farce, but it actually made Wang Yangming successful. He destroyed hundreds of thousands of rebels in more than forty days and left his name in history!
As for Prince Ning, Chu Yi had already arranged for people to watch every move of Prince Ning a few years ago. Even the people sent by Chu Yi have become Prince Ning's subordinates. Although they are not the core of Prince Ning's palace, they are enough.
We have grasped Prince Ning’s movement.
Not long ago, a piece of urgent information from the Jinyi Guards came. The spy sent by Chu Yi came with the news that Prince Ning was ready to make a move, and there were quite a few signs of restlessness.
Although it was still more than ten years before King Ning's rebellion in history, since he entered this world, the general trend of the world has been changed too much by him.
The famous chief minister helped the emperor control the court until the death of Zhu Houzhao. Even Yang Tinghe, who single-handedly supported Jiajing to ascend the throne, became a wanted criminal by the court. It can be said that the general trend of the world has been changed by Chu Yi.
Chu Yi has no doubt that King Ning will rebel in advance. As the seat of King Ning's fiefdom, Nanchang is close to the south of the Yangtze River. Historically, Jiangnan would not accompany King Ning to rebel, but this is not necessarily the case in this time and space.
Chu Yi knew that his previous killings in Jiangnan had deeply touched the nerves of the powerful and gentry in Jiangnan. In addition, he revealed his intention to open sea and collect various taxes. The interests of these powerful and gentry in Jiangnan were harmed.
Then he might not jump over the wall and support Prince Ning's rebellion.
Although the land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, it is controlled by many powerful people and gentry. The court's control over it is extremely weak. In Chu Yi's view, even if King Ning does not rebel, he will force him to rebel. It is best to be able to
This attracted the response of the powerful people and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Sitting in the carriage, Chu Yi couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the secret letter from Jin Yiwei.
Opposite it is a graceful figure, it is the Liuli girl who is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Yang Liuli sat there, her slim figure swaying slightly with the carriage. She couldn't help but feel nervous when she noticed the sneer on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth.
Seemingly noticing Yang Liuli's gaze, Chu Yi put the Jin Yiwei secret music into his sleeves and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, today is the ten-day period. Now it seems that Miss Liuli has really been abandoned.
Already."
Yang Liuli took a deep breath and sighed: "It's a pity that Liuli won't be able to see the day when you kill the eunuch."
Chu Yi looked at Yang Liuli and said, "You should know that I will keep my word. As long as you reveal the person behind the scenes, I will let you go."
Yang Liuli smiled sadly and said: "Gee, eunuch, you are simply delusional."
Sighing slightly, Chu Yi looked at Yang Liuli's exquisite and heart-warming face, and the next moment he put a finger between his eyebrows.
In an instant, Yang Liuli's eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Chu Yi lost their brilliance. There was only a blue mark between her eyebrows, but Chu Yi's finger destroyed his brain, and there was no pain at all.
There is no better way to destroy flowers than this. It can only be said that the people who sent Yang Liuli underestimated Chu Yi, thinking that even if Yang Liuli could not confuse Chu Yi, he could at least escape unscathed. However, in the end, Xiang Xiaoyu died in Chu Yi's hands.
"parking!"
The carriage stopped soon, and Cao Shaoqin was heard saying to Chu Yi: "Supervisor, what's the matter?"
Chu Yi said calmly: "Cao Shaoqin, please find a place to bury this girl!"
Killing Yang Liuli was nothing more than a difference of stance. Yang Liuli was ordered to assassinate him, and Chu Yi killed him. It was just a normal reaction. Chu Yi had no hatred for Yang Liuli, so he ordered Cao Shaoqin to bury him.
When he opened the car curtain and saw Yang Liuli leaning against the carriage, looking like a sleeping beauty, Cao Shaoqin was only slightly stunned but was not too surprised.
It can be said that Yang Liuli's death was expected by everyone, and those around Chu Yi knew it well. Although everyone was amazed by his grace, they were more aware of the temperament of their governor, and how could a mere womanizer shake his mind.
