: The chaos in the people gradually subsides

"Sir, it's really a good method. With both soft and hard, he finally made these officials honest!" After all the officials in the hall left, Lu An walked out of the darkness. He was the person around him whom Tang Feng trusted the most, so Tang Feng would not hide all his plans from him. Now he also needs such a master to be with him in case that the unknown White Lotus Sect Leader suddenly appeared in front of him, which would be detrimental to him.

Tang Feng smiled bitterly: "I can only suppress this for a while. I hope these people can really accept the lessons this time. You know the things in the ward station. If you want to completely rectify it, it will definitely not work if you don't have two or three years."

Lu An also frowned. He had never been exposed to this side of the Emperor* team. Unexpectedly, the Ming army, who thought it was very powerful, had become corrupt. In fact, this was also determined by the nature of the Jinyiwei. They were soldiers themselves, so they naturally would not look at soldiers with the same identity as themselves, but paid more attention to the Mushou in those places and the senior officials in the capital. In addition, the power of the Jinyiwei has also shrunk sharply in recent years, and the Eastern Factory began to seize power in an all-round way. It is also an important reason why they could not take into account both. "Sir, then is it really useful to do this?" Lu An asked.

"At least it can serve as a warning." Tang Feng said: "Don't look at these people who look down on those warriors very much, but in their hearts they still dare not commit crimes against the military generals who hold military power. This is why Lord Sun is still threatening Wei Yin, who now has great power. Where does the power come from the gun!" Tang Feng unconsciously said the famous saying of a great man in later generations.

"The regime comes from the gun..." Lu An savored this very real sentence carefully, and showed a hint of enlightenment on his face. At this time, Tang Feng continued to say himself: "But I am an imperial envoy after all, representing the imperial court and the emperor. These people still have to give me a lot of face on the surface, so if these officials use my name to refute, these people may restrain themselves. However, this is just superficial effort and has no use at all for the officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard Office who are now rotten." Speaking of this, Tang Feng sighed deeply.

He thought of the history that he could have turned the whole country upside down, and even the emperor was forced to death. This was obviously not because of the strength of the enemy, but because of the incompetence of the Ming army. Thinking about the elite soldiers in Liaodong who could kill more than 100,000 people from the rebels with tens of thousands of people, he could know how incompetent the officers and soldiers of the garrison who were defeated by the rebels were. "I can't let such a thing happen again. I must let the formerly powerful army of the Ming Dynasty reappear. This is the most effective way to protect my China!" Tang Feng made a decision in his heart.

"What the lord said is that the military is now decayed, and it has indeed reached the point where it must be rectified." At this time, Lu An had already come back to his senses and nodded, "But now it seems like..."

"Yes." Tang Feng walked out of his own thoughts and said helplessly: "Now I have no team of my own, and it is very difficult for me to do something. But as long as we think of more ways, we will definitely fulfill this wish!" His words seemed to cheer up Lu An, and also seemed to be convincing himself.

"But now is not the time to talk about this. My biggest patient in the Ming Dynasty is still in the capital and the castrated man. If I can't besides him, everything is just a fantasy!" Tang Feng said suddenly.

Lu An saw a terrifying murderous intent shot out from Tang Feng's eyes. He knew that after Tang Feng saw Shandong, he hated the eunuch party that made the whole world decay, but he still had to say: "Sir, it's not so easy to get rid of eunuch party. We must not act steadily. Wei Zhongxian now controls everything, and is more powerful than the Donglin party back then, but we..."

"There will always be a solution." Tang Feng said. After careful consideration, Tang Feng said helplessly again. Now his power is still too small. Even if he can control the Jinyiwei and the three camps, it is impossible for these people to be determined to follow him. The only thing he can do is wait. But can Tang Feng wait, can the suffering people in the world wait? Can the Ming Dynasty, which is about to enter the end? It is November of the fifth year of the Tianqi, and in more than a month it will be the sixth year of the Tianqi. When Chongzhen ascended the throne and killed Wei Zhongxian and rectified the world, everything was too late. Therefore, if Tang Feng wanted to change this history, he could only eradicate the eunuch party earlier and let the people have a good life earlier.

After seeing Tang Feng say this, Lu An stopped disturbing him, but kept silently standing aside. Suddenly he felt that following Tang Feng was the wisest choice he had made in this life. Perhaps only by following this person can he feel that it is a meaningful thing in his life.

He Bichang's head was publicly cut off and hung his body on the city for public display. This violent act greatly calmed the people's resentment towards the government and also let the people know the court's determination to rectify the rule of Shandong. At the same time, the government sent people to protect the land and distributed the silver, which made the people even more grateful. Although hundreds of thousands of taels of silver fell into the hands of each household, it was a great thing for the people who suffered from the pain of exploitation. In this way, they regarded the imperial envoy Tang, who was sure to do so, completely regarded the great master of the Qingtian and the savior of their family. This action also made the Jinan City, which was still somewhat depressed, quickly alive.

Tang Feng was also very happy to see that everything he did was achieved with good results. Although he spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, this was really incomparable to the benefits of re-establishing the prestige of the government.

Soon afterwards, a lot of good news came. With the reconciliation of Jinan City, the rioters finally knew that their power was still small. While the government suppressed and comforted the land, many people who had no intention of rioters quickly returned to their hometowns, and the government also refused to blame these people as before. This made more people who had no intention of rebelling back to their hometowns. The local prefectures and counties received the order of Tang Feng and sent them winter food and seeds for the spring of the next year. Seeing the sudden turn of the government at 180 degrees made the people even more grateful, and even helped the local government to recruit their fellow villagers back to their hometowns.

Under such a snowball-like effect, the chaos that plagued the entire Shandong was soon calmed down. By the end of November, except for a very small number of people who were still causing trouble, the entire Shandong had recovered from peace. Those who refused to compromise for disaster became the targets used by Tang Feng to establish his authority. He ordered his troops in the capital and some soldiers of the garrison to attack these people together.

Although these people wanted to resist stubbornly because of their familiarity with the terrain, when the people refused to help and the number of officers and soldiers was far higher than that of them, these people were soon defeated. Most of these people were bullies who had done everything they had and were loyal to the White Lotus Sect, so Tang Feng was ruthless to take action.

After a few battles, a thousand people were killed. This not only made these people who were in trouble finally surrender and could not withstand the pressure, but also allowed the people to see the other side of Tang Feng, an image of a decisive general. This further improved Tang Feng's status in the minds of the people of Shandong. You should know that the people in Shandong have always been fierce, and the most admired were heroes like Wu Erlang. So the people were just grateful to Tang Feng in the past, but after this incident, they completely convinced the young imperial envoy. This was of course an unexpected gain that Tang Feng did not expect.

In the past few days, Tang Feng did not continue to stay in Jinan City. Now everything in the city has returned to normal and the people have settled down. Naturally, they don’t have to continue to take charge. So Tang Feng walked around Shandong to see the scenery everywhere and then understand the situation of the local people.

Without realizing it, Tang Feng brought hundreds of people to Qufu, the hometown of Confucius. Because the local people are the hometown of the saint, there are many scholars. This civil rebellion has not had a great impact on the place, so Tang Feng had to leave just to observe the administration here.

However, as a Jinshi official who had read the books of sages, since he had already arrived here, he naturally had to go to the Confucius Temple and the Confucius Mansion to worship. Although Tang Feng was not very interested in this old master, he would eventually follow the trend of this era and go to the Confucius Temple to worship with several local officials.

As soon as he arrived at the Confucius Temple, Tang Feng came out of the sedan chair. This was the etiquette he should do for Confucius. Then his expression darkened because he saw the ancestral hall that was almost the same as Confucius' temple. It was Wei Zhongxian's ancestral temple that he ordered to stop building. The size and layout of this ancestral hall is not worse than the Confucius Temple around it, which shows how much money it needs to build. Now the craftsmen outside the ancestral hall are working hard, but there is no such thing as having stopped working.
