Chapter 310 What happened, I became a traitor

Chapter 310 What happened, I became a traitor (Third watch, [-]!)
Yan Maoqing, who was imprisoned in the prison of Fuzhou Prefecture, couldn't figure out why Su Ze rebelled?

A majestic Jieyuan rebellion in a province?

Yan Maoqing has met countless passionate scholars like Su Ze in her life.

These scholars were full of enthusiasm for the imperial court, and plunged into the big dye vat of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Some, like Yan Maoqing, were changed by this big dye vat, disillusioned and turned into pure egoists.

Some give up their ideals, just seeking a moment of peace in this troubled world.

Those who stick to their ideals, like Yang Jisheng and Zhou Yunyi, are vulnerable to power.

On the execution ground, they hoped that the emperor would take back his life, hoped to impress the emperor with their own blood, and wanted to use death to wash away this turbid world. It was so childish!

Killing these people is like slaughtering dogs for Yan Maoqing!
Originally, Yan Maoqing thought that Su Ze, like them, would be arrested obediently, and then shouted for injustice.

But Yan Maoqing was wrong, Su Ze planned it for a long time!

Yan Maoqing came back to his senses, he thought about the process of being arrested, and felt a chill down his spine.

The loaded guns, and the soldiers who rushed towards the officials present were all planned by Su Ze!
How dare he!

Yan Maoqing really couldn't understand why Su Ze rebelled?What reason does he have to rebel?

Can he do it?

Yan Maoqing's cold sweat flowed down.

The elite of Ming Dynasty and the elite troops of Nine Frontiers are resisting the attack of Mongol Alta.

The elite in the south are now in the hands of Su Ze.

In Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, chieftain rebellions have occurred one after another, and a flying dragon army can penetrate Jiangxi.

Around Fujian, there are no soldiers to fight at all!
Transfer the elite from the north to the south?
Impossible, at least not currently!

Even if I don't take the opportunity to make trouble, the capital does not have military pay to supply the Northern Army to go south, at least it is impossible before this year's autumn harvest!

Yan Maoqing thought of another level, Su Ze used to practice in Shanghai, and was also very influential in Zhejiang.

If Su Ze had a boat, he could wipe out Japanese pirates like Lin Daoqian, and the combat effectiveness of the Fujian Navy can be imagined.

If Su Ze led his troops to go north and cut off the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone mobilize the northern frontier army to go south, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in the capital would be hungry!
Su Ze's timing is really good.

The more Yan Maoqing thought about it, the more frightened he became. No matter what the result of Su Ze's rebellion was, he was doomed.

In great panic, Yan Maoqing spent his days in the prison like years, terrified all day long.

Like Yan Maoqing, Hu Zongxian was "rescued" from Zhejiang Governor's Yamen by Lin Mojun.

After the Battle of Taizhou, Hu Zongxian also thought about his final destination.

When Jin Yiwei came to the door, Hu Zongxian actually had a feeling that a big stone had landed in his heart.

Of course, Hu Zongxian felt more chilled.

Desperate to serve the country with fists, he went against the instructions of his mentor Yan Song and insisted on suppressing the Japanese invasion in Zhejiang.

Hu Zongxian's memorial to resign himself and the memorial to his subordinate Zhejiang New Army were sent to the capital, and finally Jin Yiwei came to his door.

When the shackles were put around Hu Zongxian's neck, this high-ranking official who used to call the wind and rain in the southeast was led out of the governor's office like a dog.

Hu Zongxian was full of humiliation. He endured not committing suicide. He just wanted to be able to state what he had done these years in front of the emperor after being escorted to the capital, so that the emperor could understand his contributions and hard work these years.

Besides, Hu Zongxian couldn't think of any way to break the situation even if he had all kinds of clever tricks.

At this time, Lin Deyang led the Zhejiang New Army into Hangzhou City and stopped Jin Yiwei's team.

Seeing that Lin Deyang personally led the team to subdue Jin Yiwei, Hu Zongxian was not at all happy because he was rescued.

"Lin Deyang! Are you attacking Jin Yiwei to cause trouble!"

Hu Zongxian refused Lin Deyang to release him from the shackles, but said: "You return to the barracks quickly! Otherwise, even the Zhejiang New Army will be implicated!"

Lin Deyang said: "Butang, the Zhejiang New Army has already controlled Hangzhou City."

Lin Deyang moved away, and Hu Zongxian saw a young and handsome officer staring at him with a smile.

"Changning guard Lin Mojun, I met Hu Butang."

Hu Zongxian regained his ability to think.

That's right, I manage the Zhejiang New Army by myself, but it seems that I haven't reached the point where Lin Deyang sacrificed his life for himself, right?

Hu Zongxian looked at the neat soldiers behind Lin Mojun, who were holding blunderbuss, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Su Ze rebelled!?"

Hu Zongxian blurted out and asked.

Lin Mojun smiled and said, "Hu Butang, Mr. Su asked me to come to Zhejiang because he couldn't bear to fight against Japanese Zhongliang being framed."

Hu Zongxian said with a livid face: "Don't want me to be a thief!"

Lin Mojun took out a call to action, handed it to Hu Zongxian and said, "This is a call to action written by Mr. Su to the capital, please read it to Hu Butang."

The content of the call to arms was the content of Su Ze's speech at the Fuzhou Wharf. After reading it, Hu Zongxian turned pale.

When he saw the signatures of many officials in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the last name "Hu Zongxian" after the appeal, his face became even paler.

Su Ze's [calligraphy] skill has reached Lv9. Based on the correspondence with Hu Zongxian, he imitated the signature written by Hu Zongxian, which is enough to fool most people.

Although traces of imitation can still be seen, Hu Zongxian knows that if this letter of appeal is sent to the capital, the whole world will believe that he and Su Ze have joined forces to rebel!

Now it really is yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit!
Hu Zongxian calmed down completely. He looked at Lin Mojun and said, "Why me? Everyone knows that I am a member of the strict party. I, Hu Zongxian, am not a good person for what I did in Zhejiang. Why did Su Ze tie me up to rebel? "

Lin Mojun said: "Mr. Su said that a gentleman's deeds don't matter what his heart is. In the battle of Taizhou, Hu Butang was infinitely stronger than those hypocrites who talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and did not benefit the country at all. Hu Butang did it for the country. The gentleman of the people."

"The government is weak because Hu Butang's gentlemen are framed for doing such things, those who talk about villains are reused, those who have made meritorious service to the country will die, and those who flatter and flatter enjoy wealth and honor. What kind of world is this?"

"This time the army is raised, first to protect Fujian and Zhejiang. If the court is stubborn, then it can only hang the people and punish crimes, and go to Beijing to take the side of the Qing emperor!"

Then Lin Mojun was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hu Zongxian, and asked Lin Deyang to "invite" him back to the Yamen of the Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mojun personally led the fleet and sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River, threatening Jiangnan!
When the news reached Nanjing, the entire Nanjing officialdom was shaken!
Zhang Juzheng, who was going south to persuade Hu Zongxian, suddenly felt that the world was changing too fast.

Originally, Qingliu was worried that Hu Zongxian would take advantage of the Japanese, so he asked Zhang Juzheng to go south to persuade Hu Zongxian to win him over.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Juzheng arrived in Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian would complete his meritorious service and wipe out the pirates in Taizhou.

Then Zhang Juzheng stayed in Nanjing to wait for the situation, but got the news that the emperor ordered Hu Zongxian to be sent to Beijing for questioning.

But before Zhang Juzheng could react, he received new news that the new regiments in Fujian and Zhejiang rebelled, supported Su Ze as the governor, robbed Jinyiwei, and rescued Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian transformed himself, and signed a joint statement with Su Ze, turning himself into the leader of the anti-thief.

This is too fast!
When they heard that Su Ze's navy had entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Sixth Department of Nanjing immediately panicked, and hurriedly called a meeting of the senior officials in Nanjing.

Zhang Juzheng, as an official of Hanlin and the envoy of King Yu, was also called to attend the meeting of the Six Ministries of Nanjing.

Since Fang Wanghai resigned, Zhao Zhenji has been in charge of the Nanjing household department and is currently the person in power of the Nanjing household department.

Li Sui, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of War, was still the Minister of the Ministry of War when the Zhenwuying Mutiny was happening.

However, it is said in Nanjing that it was Liu Shiyan, Bo Cheng, who was negotiating with the head of the Zhenwuying army at that time, and Li Sui just took the credit for Liu Shiyan.

The governor of the Nanjing Five Armies is still Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai. Although Li Tingzhu failed to deal with the Zhenwu Camp mutiny last time, it was Wei Guogong Xu Pengju who embezzled from it. Li Tingzhu stayed in his original post and was fined for three months.

Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei who caused such a bad mutiny, was only deprived of his military power in the end, and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors.

But He Huan, the guarding eunuch who was the emperor's slave, was not so lucky. He was directly deprived of all positions and went to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum.

So those who can speak at the meeting today are Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, Li Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Zhenji, Minister of the Ministry of Households.

Li Tingzhu looked around, he, the commander of the Nanjing Five Armies, was really useless.

First there was the Japanese Rebellion in Nanzhili, then the Zhenwuying Mutiny, and now Su Ze rebelled again.

Li Tingzhu even wondered if his ancestor, Li Jinglong, had manifested his spirit. How could he be so unhappy as the Marquis of Linhuai?
He even envied Xu Pengju, Duke of the State of Wei who was ordered to stay at home to think about his mistakes. This old man was also salvaged, and now he has been dismissed from his post. He no longer has to worry about state affairs, and he can pack his luggage and run away with his family at any time.

Li Tingzhu looked around, and finally landed on Li Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

"Li Shangshu, you are in charge of the military administration in Nanzhili. How do you deal with this traitor at the mouth of the Yangtze River?"

Li Sui scolded his mother in his heart, begging for rebellion?What are you asking for?

After the Zhenwu Camp mutiny, the gentlemen in Nanjing were afraid of further troubles, so they didn't even issue weapons to the soldiers.

The soldiers near Nanjing haven't touched weapons for a year, let alone training, and even the kitchen knives for cutting meat are locked on the stove!

Moreover, the imperial court settled accounts after the fall, and the matter of liquidating the Zhenwu Camp was seen by all the guards in Nanjing. Who would give you Daming's life!

Su Ze has a very high reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. He is in charge of the Shanghai Anti-smuggling Headquarters. What can he ask for?
Li Sui frowned and said: "Last time in the battle of Jingkou in Zhenjiang, the Nanzhili navy was completely burned. Hu Zongxian took all the soldiers available in Nanzhili to Zhejiang, and they were powerless to rebel."

Li Sui handed over his family background, and everyone understood that the current situation in Zhili in the south was simply nothing to do with the fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River!
A great Confucianist at heart, a disciple of Xu Jie, the current chief minister of the cabinet, Zhao Zhenji, the servant of the household department, finally spoke.

"The Nanjing household department still has 10 taels of silver in deposit."

Li Tingzhu and Li Sui immediately looked at Zhao Zhenji, but Zhao Zhenji said: "The 8 taels are the gold flowers and silver in arrears from Jiangnan that was confiscated last year, and cannot be embezzled!"

Hearing that it was Jinhuayin, everyone was in despair.

The finances of the Ming Dynasty were complicated, but there was already a financial system in which the state specialized in revenue and expenditure in modern times.

Jinhuayin is a part of the tax collected in silver, which is specially used for the emperor.

To put it bluntly, this is the silver sent to the emperor's internal treasury, and no one would dare to embezzle it without the emperor's will.

There are often tax arrears and protests in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhao Zhenji's greatest achievement in the Nanjing household department is to pursue the 8 taels of gold and silver, so it must not be moved.

It all came to a deadlock again.

Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and said:
"Master Zhao! This money must be used!"

Zhao Zhenji knew Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't expect him to speak suddenly on such an occasion.

Zhang Juzheng saluted Li Tingzhu and Li Sui, and continued:

"If the Su thieves invade the Yangtze River and cut off the Yangzhou water transport hub, you will all be sinners of the court!"

Zhao Zhenji's heart skipped a beat. Yangzhou is the general hub of water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, and also the hub of water transportation in the Yangtze River.

Not only taxes and grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but now the main grain producing areas of the Ming Dynasty, the grain in the Huguang area is also transported downstream from the Yangtze River, transiting in Yangzhou and transported northward to the capital.

Yangzhou is more important than Mount Tai. If there is a mistake in Yangzhou, the ministers in Nanjing will really die and cannot absolve themselves of the blame.

Zhang Juzheng said loudly: "Same as the Japanese invasion last time, the Su bandits have powerful artillery, but there are not many soldiers capable of fighting on land."

"Shouyang must defend Zhenjiang! Please Li Dudu send out all the soldiers for Nanzhili survey and use, and defend Zhenjiang to the death!"

"Based on Zhenjiang, and then build a training navy at Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, as long as Yangzhou is firmly held, the elite from the north of the imperial court will go south, and the rebellion of Soviet thieves will be put down!"

Zhang Juzheng's righteous words, in fact, he himself knows what's going on in Jiubian.

The former governor of Jiliao, Wang Yan, was killed. Wang Yan was well-known in the Nine Borders, and he was not greedy for the soldiers' pay, so he won the support of the Nine Borders soldiers.

Not to mention how to appease the soldiers from the nine borders to go south, just the consumption of military rations is something that the current court cannot afford.

But Zhang Juzheng has to say this, if Yangzhou is lost, Daming will lose the channel to draw blood from the south, and the court will have no hope of suppressing the rebellion!

At this moment, Zhao Zhenji, the non-stick pan, hesitated and said, "This is His Majesty's silver, do you want to make a memorial?"

Zhang Juzheng was about to be laughed at by him, he said directly:
"If the Su thief takes Yangzhou, all the money will belong to the thief! Why don't you use it to recruit soldiers now!"

Zhao Zhenji still said: "Since this is the case, I, a small servant of the household department, can't make the decision. Please discuss and sign it."

Zhang Juzheng's teeth were itchy, he directly grabbed the brush from the hand of the small official who was recording the meeting, and signed his name directly.

"Let's sign it, gentlemen! Zhang will immediately submit a petition for guilt. This matter was initiated by Zhang, and he will bear full responsibility!"

Only then did all the officials present sign their names.

With Zhang Juzheng in the foreground, Li Tingzhu issued a military order to order a number of officials of all sizes in Nanjing to become monks, and ordered the yamen at all levels in Nanzhili to collect special taxes.

Xu Shixing, the new top scholar who visited overseas elixir for the emperor, finally arrived in Nanjing. Hearing the news of Su Ze's rebellion, Xu Shixing felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xu Shixing also ignored the emperor's orders, and hurried back to his hometown in Suzhou Prefecture, only to see soldiers wearing the familiar uniforms of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Corps had already taken control of the city gate of Suzhou Prefecture.

The young champion was dizzy.

Oops, I've become a traitor!
