Chapter 2004 The Overall Situation No. 1
Ma Liang rushed out of the city gate with a few confidants, and the thieves guarding the gate behind him knew what was going on, so they all ran out.
Then they bumped into the cavalry cruising outside...
The crossbow is aiming, and the wings are outflanking.
The Ming army in front rode their horses and approached.
The long knife pointed at Ma Liang, and the hundred household officials shouted: "In ten breaths, get off the horse and kneel down, please surrender!"
Ma Liang looked around, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, everyone, at most it's exile, don't talk about those things..."
Everyone got off their horses, and the Ming army slowly forced them over, and then began to tie them up.
Ma Liang was looking at his accomplice with sharp eyes.
Everyone is in the same group, and there is no place to run when the confession is made.
"My lord, he is Ma Liang!"
...
Order has been restored in the city, and teams of thieves have been collected.
"Uncle, those are the local gentry."
Xiao Zhi, who was hiding in the common people's house, followed Fang Xing, introducing the situation of Changshan City along the way.
Fang Xing glanced at the group of respectful men, and asked, "Why are you all intact?"
Well……
This is a difficult question to answer, but someone has come up with it.
"I've seen Uncle, when the thieves conspired against us, the inferiors took their servants to guard here. The thieves saw that we were heavily guarded, so they didn't dare to do anything."
"Uncle, I have sent servants before..."
We are in the same group!
Fang Xing looked at these cautious faces and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work!"
Everyone bowed and said: "Don't dare, uncle has worked hard, I just did my duty."
Yu Qian looked at these people with complicated eyes and shook his head slightly.
"Take it!"
Fang Xing pointed to this group of people,
Then he went to the county government with his hands behind his back.
The group of people were stunned, then indignant, then desperate.
"Xing He Bo, why is this?"
"Uncle, what have you committed? What's the rule of this family if you've worked hard for the country and you've been arrested?"
"Heaven! Let the world be clear! The world will be clear! This is a reversal of black and white!"
"enough!"
Yu Qian stopped drinking, and stopped these gentry who looked at the grievances of Bigan, and said disgustedly: "The richest people in Changshan are you. Why don't you come to attack you if you are rebellious? Could it be that your morality is so profound that you can already Have you surrendered without fighting?"
A gentry had his hands cut behind his back by the sergeant, and shouted: "They came to attack! They came to attack!"
"Shameless!"
Yu Qian said angrily: "If they don't dare to attack this house, how can they have the courage to resist the officers and soldiers? They don't follow the words, and wait for the bandit leader to be captured. Let's see what you say!"
He shook his head and walked away, leaving a pale behind.
"rebel?"
A gentry said in a daze, "This is rebellion! Rebellion...is all about...suspect..."
The attitudes towards rebellion in the past dynasties are generally similar: the chief culprit and leader are killed, and most of the remaining people are exiled to the worst places.
Thanks to the great fortune of the Central Plains dynasty, the choice of place of exile has never been a problem.
These people have no good fruit to eat.
"Where's Shangru?"
In desperation, someone shouted loudly: "My lord, uncle, Shang Ru is the mastermind!"
...
The county government office was in a mess, and Xiao Zhi was familiar with him, so he called a few familiar people, and then everyone worked together to clean up the county government office.
"Uncle, Ma Liang and his accomplices will be arrested."
"A confession is required."
Fang Xing felt that this was a boring battle: a group of bewitched farmers, a group of gentry with ulterior motives, and a green-skinned boss who thought he had a destiny, couldn't wait for a farce-like rebellion.
"Fool!"
Fang Xing asked Xin Laoqi to give money to Xiao Zhi, asking him to collect some yams.
"Let the brothers eat yam stew at night!"
The yam in Changshan really suits Fang Xing's appetite. When he returns to Beijing, he plans to bring a few hundred catties with him to eat at home, and give some to Zhu Zhanji, so that he can take care of it.
Why is this kid so stubborn?
Fang Xing was a little depressed. He asked Duan Duan to harass Zhu Zhanji every morning and ask him to get up and exercise. It started off well, but then Zhu Zhanji slacked off again.
Thinking of the crying corn, Fang Xing couldn't bear the sense of urgency anymore.
"Let Fang Er go back to Beijing and go back immediately."
With Fang Xing's instructions, Fang Er set off under the protection of a general banner.
And the hoofbeats disappeared, and then appeared again.
"Uncle, Master Chang was assassinated and seriously injured!"
It was the scouts of the Jubaoshan Guard who stayed in Jinan City who came to report. They had run away and killed several horses, and the distance from Jinan City to here was less than a hundred kilometers.
"How is Jinan currently?"
Fang Xing didn't care about Chang Yu's life or death, this is one of the essential qualities of a general! The overall situation comes first!
The scout said: "Jinan City is still relatively calm at present. Jiang Xuze has returned, but Qian Hui does not allow him to take over as Chief Secretary. The two are arguing, and those officials are also uneasy."
Fang Xing got up and ordered: "Wu Yue leads people to clean up Changshan. I will send people to replace you as soon as I go back, and Yu Qian will stay here."
This meant rushing back to Jinan immediately, and Yu Qian immediately said: "Uncle Xinghe, this matter is very important, please follow me back as an officer."
The servants were already packing their things, Fang Xing said: "It's not a big problem if you are here or not, but this journey is all about changing horses and not changing people, are you sure you can hold on?"
When the army is on the road, it is often the case that the horse is changed without changing the person. Those who do not often ride long distances on the road cannot bear it.
...
The sky was covered with dark clouds, accompanied by the news of Chang Yu's assassination, it was depressing.
The chief secretary's yamen was gloomy.
Chang Yu was assassinated when he was going out. The assassin shot him in the chest with an arrow, and then fled away. He has not been caught yet.
Jiang Xuze rushed to the chief secretary's yamen as soon as he got the news, and immediately asked someone to find more than a dozen doctors with knowledge in trauma.
This was a soothing move, and then he sent people to protect officials of the fifth rank and above, which further calmed people's hearts.
"Master Jiang, the situation in Jinan Mansion is secretive, and as an inspector, please stay away!"
In the lobby, a group of political and councilors were at a loss watching the tension between Qian Hui and Jiang Xuze.
It was getting dark gradually, but the two were still at a stalemate.
Jiang Xuze couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "I am the political envoy to the right. Lord Chang was assassinated. Naturally, I will take over the heavy responsibility. Lord Qian, you are messing around!"
Qian Hui just ignored, Jiang Xuze said calmly: "You just acted as an envoy, your hand stretched...too long!"
Qian Hui sneered and said, "The rank of the lower officials is not as high as that of your lord, and your authority is beyond the control of the chief secretary, but lord Jiang, why don't you agree with my suggestion? Sending soldiers to block the streets is the top priority at this time!"
Jiang Xuze pointed at him, shook his head and said, "Master Chang was assassinated. People in Jinan City are in a state of panic at this moment. The troops are mobilized to blockade the city. If someone takes the opportunity to provoke the city, the whole city will be shocked. Do you want to suppress it?"
He looked at the officials below, and said confidently: "Those troops must be attracted but not sent out, this is the way to deter people's hearts! If all of them are sent to blockade, people's hearts will be chaotic! You will be in chaos!"
Qian Hui sneered and said: "I won't tell you these things. The sergeant sent to report the news has already arrived at Changshan. Xinghe Bo Nai is a famous general in the court. I guess it is almost here now. We don't need to say anything. Wait for Xinghe Bo Make sense after entering the city!"
Boom!
The heavy rain came pouring down. Jiang Xuze looked at the rain outside and sighed, "This rain is so heavy, hey!"
...
In Jinan City, the soldiers guarding the city were wearing coir raincoats and raincloths, squatting on the top of the city and shivering.
"so cold!"
The heavy rain in late autumn brought down the temperature and also brought difficulties in observation.
"There are cavalry coming!"
