I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 128 Lao Zhu's anger and arrogance, let us see your ability!

"On the [-]th, the Japanese pirates landed from Long Beach and entered Songjiang Mansion."

"Songjiang's defenders fought to the death and never retreated. Thousands of soldiers died in battle after the city was broken. The whereabouts of the defender Songtao is unknown, and it is rumored that he died for the country."

"The Japanese pirates burned, killed, looted, committed all kinds of crimes, raped and slaughtered countless people, and wherever they passed, it was like hell on earth."

"From time to time, Zhang Shicheng's old department, private private salt dealers, colluded with Japanese pirates, and the more people there were, the more powerful they became."

"There are also large merchants who are dissatisfied with the imperial court's increase in commercial taxes and secretly use large sums of money to fund thieves. Therefore, the situation is getting worse and worse, with the potential to start a prairie fire."

"Now the thieves are very powerful, gathering tens of thousands of people, and they are extremely powerful. The soldiers are pointing directly at Suzhou, threatening the tax-heavy land in the south of the Yangtze River. If something happens, it will become an unmanageable situation. I hope the court will send troops to wipe it out quickly."

……

Looking at this military newspaper, Zhu Yunxi's face suddenly sank.

Of course he knew where Songjiang Mansion was.

Although Songjiang Mansion is not considered a particularly important mansion in this era, it will become very famous in later generations.

It is the predecessor of Shanghai, the economic center of later generations.

First there was Songjiang Mansion, and then there was Shanghai Beach.

The Songjiang Mansion itself belongs to Zhili, and is one of the fourteen prefectures of Zhili.

It is only a few hundred miles away from Yingtian Mansion.

Songjiang Mansion was captured by Japanese pirates?
The shock caused by this can be imagined.

Zhu Yunzhen clearly remembered that nothing like this happened in history.

Although the history of his previous life is only half-baked, if such a big event really happened, he would definitely have some impression.

After all, although you don't need to have in-depth and complicated knowledge to be a keyboard warrior on the Internet, you still need to know basic common sense.

Otherwise, you can only be slapped in the face by others.

The thrill of the keyboard man pointing the country is gone.

There is no such thing in history. That is probably because his arrival changed history.

Increase business tax!

Open for business!
Taking money from others is like killing one's parents.

The sudden increase in tariffs naturally made the wealthy merchants who had always enjoyed huge profits extremely dissatisfied.

Opening up to do business has made them lose their ability to monopolize commerce overnight, and there is no basis for them to make huge profits.

But they couldn't stop them, so they secretly provided a large amount of money to the Japanese pirates to recruit troops, which greatly increased their strength, so they captured Songjiang Mansion.

Otherwise, the small group of Japanese pirates at this time really do not have this ability.

I'm afraid that Zhang Shicheng's old department, private salt dealers, etc., also have some wealthy merchants who interspersed with them, so they quickly colluded with the Japanese pirates so quickly.

Zhu Yunxi also thought of Wu Yigeng's family who was killed by him before. He was originally from the Quanzhou Pu family, but went to Suzhou incognito.

He is a philanthropist in the local area and has a good reputation. He came to Jinling just to do business.

This person must be very influential among the merchants in Suzhou.

Is the fact that a wealthy businessman secretly funded the Japanese pirates also related to the murder of his whole family?
He just proposed to open the sea ban, and the Japanese pirates invaded and occupied Songjiang Mansion.

Can the opening of the sea ban continue?
All of a sudden, countless thoughts flooded in.

All the officials were about to retreat, but when they heard that eight hundred li had been sent to the palace urgently, they all stayed outside and looked into the palace one by one, waiting for the news.

Zhu Yunxuan put away the military report, walked out, and said with a calm smile: "It's not a big deal. The local government made a fuss and used eight hundred miles to rush. I will issue a punishment."

"Liangguo Gong Lanyu stays here, everyone else should leave."

The Japanese pirates captured Songjiang Mansion and approached Suzhou, which was not far from Yingtian Mansion.

Once the news got out, he didn't know how much commotion it would cause, so of course he wouldn't say anything.

The officials breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Judging by the look and tone of the emperor's grandson, it should be nothing serious.

Otherwise, let them all stay and discuss.

Maybe there was a small commotion somewhere, and the local government was temporarily panicked, so they used [-] miles to rush.

Making decisions on the fly is an ability that many officials lack.

Facing a sudden change for the first time, mishandling is inevitable.

But in the future, we still have to warn the local officials not to use the eight hundred miles to rush things without permission unless it is a major event of earth-shattering.

All the officials were thinking in their hearts and quickly retreated.

Zhu Yunxi said to Lan Yu: "Just wait here, I will go see Grandpa Huang first."

Lan Yu bowed and saluted with a serious expression.

Unlike most officials in the court, he knew that something big must have happened when His Highness Taisun asked him to stay.

His Royal Highness did not say anything, probably because he was afraid of causing unnecessary panic.

Could it be that Bei Yuan went south again?

But Lan Yu quickly rejected this idea.

Beiyuan was hit many times by Ming Dynasty, and its strength was not as good as before.

Besides, it is not the season for the prairie cavalry to go south.

But apart from Bei Yuan, he couldn't think of anything else that would happen.

Could it be that there was a rebellion somewhere?
This cannot be judged.

I can only wait quietly.

……

Palace, back garden.

Lao Zhu sat in the gazebo, quietly watching the sweet potato fields.

After handing over the government affairs to Zhu Yunzhen and letting him supervise the country, he spent more time here.

Even if he is obviously fine, he still sits here and looks at the land he has planted.

Zhu Yunxi walked very fast and came straight.

Lao Zhu frowned and shook his head, and said with a smile: "Don't run so fast, you may fall easily. It also makes people feel that you are not stable enough. You are now the prince, so you must always pay attention. Every move must be majestic."

"Grandfather, grandson is here to plead guilty!" Zhu Yunxi walked up to him and knelt down.

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, helped him up, and said, "You did a good job today."

"We all know that those civil servants and generals were all tricked by you. They are indeed the children and grandchildren of our old Zhu family."

"It's both powerful and resourceful. If you handle it properly, that's great! We can leave Daming to you with confidence."

"Hahaha!"

Although he was in the back garden, he was always paying attention to what was going on in the court, and people kept reporting to him, so he knew everything about it.

The establishment of the Advisory Office and the Military Affairs Office is an unprecedented event.

Although Lao Zhu left it to Zhu Yunxi to deal with it, it was impossible not to keep an eye on it.

"We have no objection to the opening of the sea ban. We are the state prison now, and we hand over the government to you. You decide, so that's fine. What crime are you asking for?"

Lao Zhu thought it was him who pleaded guilty for deciding to open the sea ban without asking for instructions.

Zhu Yunxuan shook his head slightly and said: "Grandpa Huang, we have just received the eight hundred miles urgent call. The Japanese pirates have launched a massive attack. They have already broken through Songjiang Prefecture, and their troops are pointing directly at Suzhou."

"What?" Old Zhu's complexion also changed drastically.

Zhu Yunxuan quickly handed over the general's report.

Lao Zhu quickly read through it and asked, "What do you think of this?"

"Grandpa Huang, this is all caused by the increased commercial tax levied on your grandson."

"If this were not the case, those big merchants would not have secretly funded the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates would not have been able to gather such a large number of people that even Songjiang Prefecture was captured by them, endangering the capital."

"I also ask Grandpa Huang to punish his grandson."

"You are not guilty!" Lao Zhu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "We agreed to this matter. If you are guilty, then we are guilty."

"After Wu Yigeng's incident, we ordered the Suzhou Prefecture to arrest the remnants. Many businessmen who had close contacts with Wu Yigeng in the past were arrested and imprisoned, and many of them were sentenced to death."

"They were already rebellious and should have been cleaned up long ago."

"These people are definitely indispensable for this rebellion."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized.

When did Lao Zhu’s butcher knife become soft?

His favorite grandson was assassinated, and Wu Yigeng was found out to be the hidden remnant of the Pu family. How could Lao Zhu let it go so easily?
It is conceivable that in Wu Yigeng's hometown of Suzhou, an unprecedented prison must have been set off.

Many wealthy merchants were involved and even had no other choice. So they jumped over the wall and colluded with the Japanese pirates to rebel!
Yes.

That makes sense.

Although the merchants will be very dissatisfied with the increase of business tax and the opening of business, but if they really want to rebel, they probably don't have the courage to do so.

After all, even if these people don't do business all their lives, they can still live a good life.

Who would not be able to think of doing something like killing the nine tribes and cutting them into pieces with a thousand cuts?

Only when you are involved in a major case and have no other way out will you make a desperate move.

"How do you plan to deal with this matter?" Old Zhu asked.

Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, shouldn't you make up your mind on such a big matter?
You started out as a commoner, leading troops to fight, and arranging troops are also what you are best at.

But he didn’t dare to say that. Now that Lao Zhu asked, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: “Perhaps we can appease first. After that, the differentiation and disintegration can be broken."

The Japanese will definitely be suppressed and killed, but other people may not be unable to recruit.

Songjiang Mansion is not far from Yingtian, and it is also a prosperous place, if it is a large-scale use of swords, it may be destroyed in one fell swoop.

"No!" Old Zhu flatly rejected his proposal.

"How could the Ming Dynasty court bow to these rebellions? As soon as this happened, the unruly people thought that by rebelling, they would be recruited by the court and given official titles. Then there would be no peace in the world."

Zhu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment.

This point, he did not expect it.

However, it seems right.

The Song Dynasty, which used the most to recruit security, was also the dynasty with the most peasant uprisings.

Many people, such as Song Jiang in Water Margin, rebelled just to be recruited by the imperial court.

"Pass down the decree and immediately summon Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, Chang Sheng, Duke of Founding, and Sun Ke, Marquis of Quanning, back to Beijing."

"Go and bring Lan Yu over and discuss with him how to deploy the troops and arrange the troops. Once you've discussed it, show it to us."

"We must not let go of Japanese pirates and rebellion easily."

"If they dare to rebel, we will kill them all."

In Lao Zhu's deep voice, there was already a murderous look.

In the original old body, a different kind of anger burst out in an instant.

It was like a sleeping tiger waking up and staring at the hunting tiger not far away.

Fighting on the battlefield for many years, there are mountains of swords and seas of blood.

Although he has not been to the battlefield for a long time and his body is old, his power is still there.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

"Yes, grandson knows."

He turned around and went to find Lan Yu.

"Hey!" Lao Zhu's voice sounded from behind: "We hope you will preside over this battle to quell the Japanese pirates in Songjiang Prefecture. Let us take a good look at your abilities."
