Chapter 952: Ansai Gao Yingxiang

An Bangyan's rebellion this time, including Zhu Youxiao, almost all the civil and military officials in the court could have guessed that no one really treated him as a dish.

If An family had messed up in the southwest during the Liaodong War, it would have really brought some trouble to Zhu Youxiao.

But now the An family has waited for the second year of the Ming Dynasty to completely destroy the Jurchens. Now the troops on the Nine Borders have returned to their bases to recuperate.

This time they rebelled, they were destined to be unable to make any waves.

The rebellion of the Shuixi'an clan was the first highlight of today.

The second highlight is naturally Wei Zhongxian.

The eunuch party has been in power for more than ten years since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne in the 47th year of Wanli. Because it was very cruel and bloody to the Donglin Party at the beginning, there were countless political enemies.

Zhu Youxiao knew that if he did not publicly express his intention to keep Wei Zhongxian's life, he would have to die a good death. It was a pity to say that.

But Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry to come out, so the important ones naturally had to be kept for the end.

The next step is Yang Sichang, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, who was just transferred to the capital this year.

Yang Sichang's family is a typical scholarly family. Under the influence of family style, he devoted himself to studying since childhood and devoted himself to the imperial examination.

In the 34th year of Wanli, Yang Sichang was awarded the imperial examination. In the 38th year of Wanli, he was also ranked among the top and passed the Jinshi. From then on, he started his political career.

Speaking of which, this person's political career is still quite ups and downs. He had already made his mark in the Central Plains earthquake in the second year of the Apocalypse, but it has not been reused since then.

Over the years, Yang Sichang has been in the Huaihe River, Suzhou and Hangzhou, successively serving as the position of the Ministry of Finance, Promotion Officer, Censor, etc., and was finally transferred to the capital this year.

Yang Sichang said: "I told Your Majesty that last year, there was no rain all year round in Yan'an, Qingyang, Pingliang and other places in Shaanxi Province. Until now, there has not been a drop of rain, resulting in the scattered grass and trees and the particles are not harvested."

"Many people among the people starve to death and strive to collect grass in the mountains for food. When the grass is gone, they peel the bark and eat it. When the bark is gone, they dig stones in the mountains for food."

"The stone is cold and fishy, ​​and you will eat enough for less food. If you die after a few days, your abdomen will bloat and fall. The hungry people gathered to be 'thieves', saying that it is better to die for 'thieves' than to sit and wait for starvation to die."

"There are also those who burn human bones as firewood and cook human flesh to eat. However, those who eat humans will die of redness and swelling within a few days."

"So, the dead pillow was filled with smell. Several pits were dug outside Ansai County, each pit could accommodate hundreds of people, and they were not as good as those who buried it, and I don't know how many there were?"

"Small counties are like this, big counties can be seen, one place is like this, other places can be seen. How can the people not be connected and become 'thieves'? And Qingyang and north of Yan'an are even more famine."

"Now, bandits are rising in all parts of Shaanxi. It is clear that Your Majesty will send out food and money for disaster relief as soon as possible, mobilize the official army to quell the rebellion, and calm people's hearts!"

What Yang Sichang said was the famous Shaanxi famine in the late Ming Dynasty.

From last year to this year, there has been no rain in Shaanxi Province for nearly two years, and almost no harvest in the province. People cannot eat. In many places, there are three families in the family of three starved to death at home for several days without anyone noticing.

In addition, because there are too many people who die and the bodies cannot be handled in time, plagues have occurred in some places, which is likely to spread.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly started to talk.

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, the matters in Shaanxi are handled early. After the sanctions and abolishment of the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi has become increasingly corrupt. I propose to renew the establishment of a member of the Governor of Shaanxi."

Zhu Youxiao also knew that such problems are now available every year. The Chongzhen dynasty was seventeen years old, and now it is calculated based on the historical timeline, and it is only the second year.

In other words, there will be at least fifteen more famines that have affected a province.

In other words, he destroyed Jiannu in advance, and Li Chuang had become a hard-core official army. Otherwise, if he fell into this situation, it would be really hard to end.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said:

"Add Shanxi Deputy General Zhang Wanbang as Shanxi General, promoted to the Left Governor of the Former Army Governor's Office, and was given the seal of the general to pacify the bandits and moved to Xi'an."

"Taiyuan Governor He Renlong was promoted to General Datong and was appointed as the right governor of the former Army Governor's Office. Sun Chuanting went to the governor of Shanxi Military Affairs, and the governor of Shanhaiguan Wang Zhishen transferred to the governor of Shaanxi Military Affairs."

"Distribute 15 million taels of silver to be used for disaster relief!" Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked to the side and said:

"Wu Youxing, I want to transfer you to Shaanxi to rectify the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau of Shaanxi Province, establish a national medical clinic, and manage the plague. If you need anything, you can say nothing."

Wu Youxing was stunned, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

He heard that the deaths in the place were very serious and the plagues were everywhere. He was so anxious that he didn't want to stay in the Imperial Hospital to continue to do power tricks. He was thinking about whether to resign from his post and go out to travel to the world.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly gave him this opportunity.

This is not an ordinary opportunity. He not only wants to control the Shaanxi plague, but also rebuild the local medical system that had long collapsed.

If it can succeed, it will benefit the people more!

Thinking of this, Wu Youxing couldn't help but get excited: "Your Majesty, I have not arrived in Shaanxi yet. I should go to the place to check this matter in detail to know what is missing."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said lazily: "I understand this too, Wu Youyan obeys the order!"

"I am Wu Youshi and wait for the holy intention!" Wu Youshi and hurriedly stepped out.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have added you as a doctor of the Imperial Hospital and asked you to go to Shaanxi to take charge of the plague treatment in Shaanxi. As for establishing a National Medical Clinic and rectifying the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, you will follow your arrangements."

Wu Youxing's heart was already extremely turbulent and said, "My decree Wu Youxing received the order to thank me! Long live my emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a little eunuch ran into the hall, "Your Majesty, no, there is an Ansai rebel named Gao Yingxiang gathered 7,000 people to besiege Sanshui County!"

"Guerrilla General Gao Conglong led two thousand officers and died in battle. The refugees were surrounded by thousands of refugees in the Sanshui River, and they have grown to more than 10,000!"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes, Gao Yingxiang?

He still showed up on time!

But now that you are here, aren’t you sending military merits?

Zhu Youxiao was not panicked at all about the emergence of the rebel army. What are you afraid of? Zhang Wanbang's army is guarding it in Shaanxi.

What's more, the current local government army is no longer the same as before.

Zhu Youxiao seemed furious and said, "I ordered the Ti cavalry to leave the capital and go to Datong with a quick horse, so that Zhang Wanbang could immediately switch to Xi'an and eliminate the thieves!"

After saying this, Wei Zhongxian saw that no one reported any major news again, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and weak, and I am not enough to hold a high position anymore, so I beg for retirement."

Zhu Youxiao was very surprised, and the civil and military officials in the court were also talking about it.

However, no one dared to come out and advise him in person. After all, the Emperor and Wei Zhongxian were alone all night last night, so who knew if they were acting.

"Duke Ning Guo is going to retire?" Zhu Youxiao laughed, "How can I not have Duke Ning Guo? How can I not have Duke Ning Guo? How can the Ming Dynasty not have Duke Ning Guo!"

"I don't know!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately said, "Your Majesty, old minister..."

Zhu Youxiao laughed and waved his hand: "No need to say Zhongxian anymore. I won't be sure. If you go back and support me, I will be like cutting off my own arm!"
