196 Fan State Messenger
The rebellion of the victims of the Northwest disaster was indeed terrible, because the drought in the Northwest lasted too long, and the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty was also severe at this moment.
The victims have little land in their hands, and even if they are not affected by the disaster, they can only fill their stomachs.
When this natural disaster comes, they will not cover their bodies, not fill their stomachs, and be too hungry to bear it.
It would be fine if it was just one year or two years. The problem, every year, every year, there would be no sign of improvement in the drought. In addition, the officials in the court only knew internal strife and did not care about their lives or death. They would have been unable to survive.
What should I do if I can't stand it?
Either starve to death or rebel!
It can be said that the northwest is just a powder keg, and it will explode with just a little spark!
As long as someone takes the lead, it will definitely be a response.
Now, the King of Fugu Wang Jiayin has taken the lead in lifting up. The nearby King of Rebellion, King of Rebellion, Zhang Yingjin, King of Mian Tian, and King of Zijin Liang responded immediately, and the powder barrel has exploded!
When Taichang returned to the capital, Yansui Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, Gongchang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and other places were all blown up. I wonder how many thieves were robbing food everywhere.
This is really troublesome.
Taichang looked at the urgent report, feeling depressed, helpless and annoyed.
The confidants stood there, even more than dared to breathe.
He was silent for a while before he asked helplessly: "Jinghui, have the money and food allocated on time?"
Bi Ziyan hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has specially sent more than a dozen chief officials to Huguang, Sichuan and other places to supervise the transfer. The local government has also made detailed records. Each record has been signed by the responsible officials, so there should be no problem."
It is indeed unlikely that there will be problems, because the disaster relief money and food have been allocated for several years. In the past, the problems that have never occurred were not the allocation, but officials from the affected areas were embezzling disaster relief money and food, otherwise it would be impossible for them to bloom everywhere.
After all, rebellion will kill the nine clans. Even if those heroes who are trying to achieve hegemony are desperate for life, the victims are hungry and cannot rebel with them!
Taichang sighed slightly, then asked again: "Ziliang, didn't I ask you to investigate the officials in the northwest disaster area? What's going on? Why are there anyone embezzling disaster relief money and food?"
When Cao Yubian heard this, he couldn't help but feel guilty, "Emperor, I am guilty. Because the Censorate has not enough staff, I can only let the inspectors and the inspectors investigate one by one. I think that there were disaster rebellions in Shangzhou in Xi'an Prefecture, and the Hanzhong Prefecture and Yunyang Prefecture were poisoned by the eunuch party, which was the most unstable. Therefore, I ordered the inspectors to investigate the north from these three prefectures. As a result, before the investigation of these three prefectures was completed, King Jiayin of the Fugu rebelled! This was all because the Wei was not considerate and asked the emperor to punish him."
Alas, there is no way. The Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen provinces had more than 200 prefectures and prefectures and more than 1,000 counties. In addition, each province had two huge institutions, namely the Political Envoy Department and the Censorate Division, and the local officials had tens of thousands.
The last time he took more than 600 Jinshis and seven or eight hundred Juren. It would be nice to be able to fill the various departments and offices of the capital. There is really no one in the local area!
The Censorate has more than 100 supervisory censors, but the problem is that it cannot be sent to Shaanxi. The Censorate has thirteen supervisory censors, and each province has one. On average, there are less than ten supervisory censors in one province.
With such a few people and so many prefectures and counties, it really takes time to inspect.
In addition, Shaanxi is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it will take a month for the inspector and the censor to go over!
Cao Yubian cannot be blamed for this matter.
Alas, it would be great if it was another one or two years. By then, the sweet potatoes and potatoes would come out, and the farmland water conservancy would be rich to repair it. The victims would be able to fill their stomachs by planting these two things themselves. It would be impossible to rebel with those kings bored.
But God just won’t give him time!
For the current plan, we can only suppress it first.
Thinking of this, Taichang said decisively: "Caring Dou, passing the order, and ordered Sun Chuanting to quickly lead the Jingying and the Imperial Guards to head north, surrounded from the direction of Hanzhong Prefecture, and chased and suppressed the rebels in Gongchang Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture."
this!
Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said carefully: "Emperor, the rebellion between She Chongming and An Bangyan has not yet been quelled!"
Taichang said helplessly: "There is no way, the rebels have retreated back to the west, and there are all mountains and ridges there. The army's encirclement and suppression cannot be carried out at all. They can only let Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu lead the Tunwei and Baigan soldiers to slowly clear them."
Originally, he thought the Southwest Rebellion would be pacified soon, and at the beginning, Sun Chuanting was indeed very fast. It took a few months to advance from Chengdu to Guiyang. She Chongming and An Bangyan were beaten to death by him.
However, as soon as I entered the Shuixi Mountains, the speed of clearing down instantly.
There is no way, there are mountains there!
People are used to living in the mountains and the terrain is too familiar, so they naturally want to go wherever they want. The army led by Sun Chuanting is all the Tunwei in Nanzhili, so they are not familiar with the terrain there and have no experience in fighting in the mountains, so they naturally cannot be suppressed.
At this moment, he could only let the Baigang soldiers who were familiar with mountain combat be the main force and take the Sichuan Tun Guards to slowly clear them.
This matter is simply unhurried.
He thought about it and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Jiandou, you can prepare too. Tomorrow, I will lead the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp infantry to chase and suppress them from Yansui Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture, and strive to join Sun Chuanting to surround the thieves in Pingliang Prefecture and wipe out them in one fell swoop."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Taichang nodded slightly, and then reminded: "Remember, don't be merciful. Since these thieves have embarked on this path, it is basically unlikely that they will turn back. Therefore, any thieves must be arrested and punished, and they dare to resist and kill them without mercy! If they are kind to these thieves, they will not be arrested and punished, and they dare not resist or kill them, and the victims will follow suit. At that time, there will be more and more thieves. Also, if anyone who dares to be kings, try to catch them as much as possible. When they are caught, I will cut them into pieces and then kill their nine clans to serve as a warning!"
this!
Well, you should use the dictionary in troubled times.
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "I understand."
Taichang actually understood that since this rebel has risen, it will definitely be immortal once. Unless you can promote sweet potatoes and potatoes, repair all the water conservancy there, so that the people can eat enough, so that many people will not foolishly use cannon fodder for those heroes in troubled times.
If the victims cannot even have enough food to eat, some people will take risks. When facing the encirclement and suppression, the thief leaders only need to drill into the mountains. As long as there are victims who are hungry outside, they will always have a chance to recover.
Problem, these all take time and a lot of money.
He was really out of money now. The food in Liaodong started to sow. He had to bear about half a year to let go. There were also hundreds of thousands of troops in food and salary, and military merit rewards from Liaodong and southwest, which made him very worried.
For a moment, where did he go to get so much money?
In desperation, he had to send a chewy-wheeled crane to pick up his father-in-law Wu Yangchun to Beijing for discussion.
Originally, Wu Yangchun should have come to the capital for a long time, but he was about to send a ship to pick him up, and the war in Liaodong began again, so it was delayed.
Now, he can count on doing some business and earn some extra money to subsidize the national treasury and internal treasury.
On that day, he was sitting there thinking hard, what business is going to make money quickly, but Wang Chengen walked in quickly, respectfully raised an envelope above his head, bowed and said, "Master, Zhao Feng's 800 miles from Fujian are reported urgently."
Zhao Feng is back!
This kid went to Luzon with silver to buy rubber, and he didn't know what the result was.
Now they almost used up the barrel of rubber that Xu Ji brought back, and the wheelbarrow could not continue to be renovated, let alone making machine tools and water trucks.
This thing is so important!
Taichang couldn't wait to take the envelope, and when he tore it open, a strange look appeared on his face.
The boy brought back two barrels of rubber, but he also brought back a foreign envoy.
Chapter completed!
