Chapter 28 Li Min is more difficult, Zhengde lives by virtue 6

"Your Majesty is in trouble! Thousands of people gathered in the Eicheng yesterday and attacked the railway construction site in the dark. Dozens of workers were killed and injured, and many railway tracks were demolished and robbed away!"

Early in the morning, Zhou Tunan's eyelids began to pound wildly, and indeed, such bad news came soon!

"Check it out, check it out for me! This matter is definitely not that simple! There must be someone behind it.

Especially, check whether there are any evil god believers in it to instigate and incite!”

Zhou Tunan immediately became suspicious and ordered his subordinates to serve in the Imperial Guards.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to let the army rush to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a bad thing for Xinfeng that day after a long time!" said Zhang Yang, the newly recruited minister of Lantai.

Now that the emperor has a stable position, he naturally has a team of men. It is not the situation where there were two or three big cats and two or three big cats under his command.

Now two or three men are in the team, with real talents and knowledge, but are from poor families and have no chance to make a name for themselves.

There were also young talents who recruited from the merchants through cooperation with the merchants. An institution called Lantai was established, which was considered the emperor's personal team.

Zhang Yang was born in a Shang family and realized the danger immediately.

However, at this time, He Meiqing spoke and said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhang said is not bad. These rebellions should be resolved as soon as possible...

Otherwise, there would be a sudden criticism of the construction of the railway in the court. Maybe the Beijing-Shi Railway would be forced to stop work!"

The rebellion of Xinfeng more than two years ago has not long passed, and most people still remember it freshly.

The cabinet is most afraid of arousing civil unrest, so it is definitely seeking stability.

If you feel that the railway is dissatisfied with the source, you may really force the railway construction to be stopped.

After all, the merchant clan has the greatest power in the cabinet civil service system.

However, the Shang tribe is not a monolithic part. After all, the so-called Shang tribe compared to the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, said it was just a class division.

It may be easier to understand if the Shikanshan merchant clan changed his name, that is the Shikanshan Consortium!

In short, the power of the merchants such as Shikanshan is not the top in Da Chu, and their influence in the cabinet is not too great. And it is not without enemies!

After all, the Shikanshan merchants could not handle the approval for railway construction. It was entirely achieved with the support of the emperor.

All competitors who are likely to have Shikanshan merchants took the opportunity to attack.

Even in the cabinet civil servant system, there are probably no fewer people who are afraid of the expansion of the emperor's power and take this opportunity to launch an attack.

In short, the situation is quite dangerous!

However, the problem now is that the Governor's Office of the Five Army may not necessarily cooperate with the emperor's request to send troops.

After all, the emperor cannot order the military!

And even if they agreed to send troops, they would probably have to make a lot of requests to Zhou Tunan.

It is even possible to take the plane to ask the railway to stop work.

The military is also wary of the emperor's power expansion.

This is quite difficult to deal with...

It’s not that everyone is not smart enough, but that they are not strong enough.

No one wants another person on his head to ride on his head to act as a mighty man...

After finally weakening the imperial power, no one wants the tiger to be released again!

He Meiqing volunteered: "Your Majesty, I'll go and talk to the Governor's Office of the Five Army! Try to agree to their conditions as little as possible..."

Zhou Tunan showed an unfathomable smile at the corner of his mouth: "No hurry! No hurry to do this!"

Everyone looked at each other. Could it be that the emperor still wanted to repeat the scene in Xinfeng that day?

However, times have changed, and now the emperor is roasted on the fire!

But I heard Zhou Tunan Youyou say, "Didn't we use so many victims to build a railway?

The suspension of railway construction has ruined their jobs. Wouldn't these people resist?"

Nearly 100,000 victims were used to build the railway, almost all of which were family members. This project supported at least 300,000 to 400,000 victims.

The Hualu war is not over yet, and the construction of railways is really stopped. Can the cabinet now spend money to help so many victims?

As for the Governor's Office of the Five Army, it would be even easier, letting the workers defend themselves.

The mobs who caused trouble are just a mob, and these workers have learned the preliminary division of labor and cooperation after this period of railway construction, which is much more organized than the mobs...

I believe that the Governor's Office of the Five Army does not want another huge armed force outside the army!

He Meiqing quickly understood what Zhou Tunan meant and immediately said: "I'll go to talk to the Governor's Office of the Five Army!"

Zhou Tunan nodded and said, "Tell the cabinet and the military that the railway is willing to bear the military expenses for this rebellion!"

After all, you can't force yourself too ruthlessly, and appropriate concessions are also necessary.

Zhou Tunan looked at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang quickly understood: "I'll go and talk to Xu Yongbao and others!"

He was from the Shikanshan Shang clan and was his own person of Xu Yongbao and others. He even spoke to them about this.

I believe that Xu Yongbao and others also understand that it is amazing! They will agree to pay this military expenses.

Zhou Tunan smiled and said, "This military expenditure is equally distributed by shares, and I will pay 20%!"

Soon He Meiqing talked to the Governor's Office of the Five Army and told the military in a vague way that if you refuse to send troops, then we will directly arm the railway workers.

After knowing that the railway agreed to pay military expenses, the military quickly admitted defeat and immediately mobilized the army to suppress the rebellion without even the consent of the cabinet...

In the past, when passing through the cabinet, the logistics and military expenditure was mainly controlled by the cabinet civil servant system.

This time, Shikanshan covered military expenses, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army simply dumped the cabinet and went straight to the cabinet.

After all, these two companies have more conflicts. When it comes to the powerful, they will still show them to the powerful.

However, the cabinet's literary management system was frightened, and the brewing incident of forcing the railway to shut down was still alive.

Begin to deal with the independent departure of the Governor's Office of the Five Army!

The cabinet civil servant system was afraid that the military would be too powerful and eventually form a situation in the military government, and tried to rely on the reins of the logistics and supplies to control the military's wild horse.

Now seeing the army leaving alone, they immediately had a stress response... The degree of reaction was much more serious than Zhou Tunan expected!

"The cabinet civil servant system seems to be very serious about the military!"

Zhou Tunan smiled when he heard the news.

More than a hundred years ago, after the founding of the New Chu, King Qing died too early with the Empress Lin family, leaving behind an orphan and a noble relative in charge.

This led to the political situation instability during the thirty or forty years, and the coups launched by various nobles led the army one after another and bloody purges.

This history has really impressed the cabinet civil servants.

So much so that the Five Army Governor's Office, which is still controlled by the nobles, is full of fear and various checks and balances.

The cabinet quickly sent people to negotiate with the emperor to take over the logistics of the army to suppress the rebellion again. It would never give the military any chance to break free from the reins!

In order to achieve this, he even compromised with the emperor and put forward many conditions, which was to return the logistics authority over the military.

After this incident, Zhou Tunan's energy reached more than 350 points.
