Chapter 162 All Parties in Xi’an
  In Xi'an, the commander-in-chief was Si Yamen.

Commander Si Pengqing was in the public room reading military documents sent from various places.

In the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi Province had a large area of ​​jurisdiction, covering approximately three provinces today: Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia.

The Shaanxi Capital Command and Envoy Department is the highest military leadership organization in Shaanxi in peacetime. It is affiliated to the Central Right Army Governor's Office. Four of the "nine-sided important towns" often mentioned in the Ming Dynasty are within its jurisdiction, and it has dozens of guard posts under its jurisdiction. There are usually a lot of official documents exchanged.

Therefore, as the commander of the Shaanxi capital, Peng Qing has very important responsibilities. In addition, he has always fulfilled his responsibilities as an official, and his daily affairs are very busy.

At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Cao Xiong, the commander-in-chief, came in.

"Cao Qian is so worried, what's the urgent matter?" Peng Qing raised his head and asked.

"Lord Du Si, urgent military information came from the Yan'an Guard, saying that the guerrilla Zhuang Hong's unit in Yulin City was defeated by an army called Zhenming Army, and Yulin City may also be lost." Cao Xiong said while handing over the document.

Peng Qing took the military information document and immediately read it, "A county magistrate rebelled? And he captured Yulin City?" he said in confusion.

"I think it's unlikely. Yulin City has at least two thousand elite soldiers. How many troops can a county magistrate have?" Cao Xiong also said.

"But what Zhuang Hong said is very detailed, and it doesn't look like a lie. If the magistrate of Fugu County colluded with the Mongols and lured most of the troops out, then it is really possible to capture Yulin City. But it's not close from Fugu to Yulin. What is his intention in attacking there?" Peng Qing continued.

"What should we do? Should we report it to the court immediately? Or organize troops to suppress the rebellion?" Cao Xiong asked.

"Such a big thing must be reported. This is my first time in the Ming Dynasty when a county magistrate rebels. Report it to the court as soon as possible. In addition, inform the Chief Secretary and the Chief Secretary's Yamen to discuss together how to counter the rebellion." Peng Qing thought for a moment and then ordered.

"Understood, I'll take care of it now." Cao Xiong took the order and left.

On that day, Shaanxi Governor Bo Jing Xiaoyan received a letter from Lin Feng from Yulin City.

Recently, he had heard some rumors that Lin Feng, the magistrate of Fugu County, had rebelled against him, but he had not received a formal document report yet, and he was very worried.

After all, Lin Feng was the county magistrate he recommended, and any rebellion would inevitably have some negative impact on him.

Moreover, at this time, the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, was leading troops to cooperate with the governor of five provinces, Hong Chengchou, to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng. Once the political enemies in the DPRK and China took advantage of this to attack, Governor Sun had no way to defend himself and was still very passive.

When he opened the letter written by Lin Feng, Jing Xiaoyan was shocked. He knew that he was brave, but he didn't expect that he was so brave that he rebelled.

Lin Feng didn't say much. He first explained the reason why Yao Lu, the governor of Jiazhou, and the inspector of Shaanxi Province tried to overturn the Liu family's case, but he was forced to resist.

Then he analyzed the general trend of the world and concluded that before the civil unrest in the country was over, the Jin Tatars might invade the country again, and the Ming Dynasty might not be reliable. Let him come to Fugu when he is in trouble, and he will definitely repay the favor of recommending the county magistrate that day.

Jing Xiaoyan walked back and forth in the room for a long time after reading the letter, and finally decided not to report it.

Lin Feng admitted that when he sent the letter, he had already raised troops to rebel. Now that it has been more than ten days since he received the letter, reporting it has no warning effect. On the contrary, it will easily be accused of colluding with the rebels.

In addition, as the head of the governor's office, Jing Xiaoyan naturally knew the current domestic situation in the Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that the peasant army is being chased everywhere, and it seems that it will be wiped out soon.

But he knew very well that the governor's office was out of money and the Qin army was almost unable to attack. Moreover, the sequelae of forced expropriation and suppression of wages will soon break out. Once the weather is bad and famine occurs again, there will definitely be civil unrest everywhere. Keep Lin Feng's line now so that if something happens in the future, you will have a way out.

The next day, the main officials of the three divisions of Shaanxi gathered at the Yamen of the Du Commandery Department to discuss the rebellion of the Fugu County magistrate reported by Yan'an Prefecture.

After Cao Xiong, the commander of the capital, read the report from the Yan'an Guards, Peng Qing took the lead and said: "My lords, this is the situation. How should we deal with this matter?"

"This county magistrate rebelled, which was the first time in our Ming Dynasty. Why did Shaanxi gain a disgraceful name again? Jiazhou Prefectural Government cannot escape the blame." Shaanxi Inspector Li Tianjing said habitually.

"Master Xiantai, what you said is wrong. I heard that it was the Shaanxi patrol that went to Fugu to force Lin Feng to rebel." Ye Tinggui, the Right Chief Minister of Shaanxi Province, was naturally unwilling to have the blame put on his own system. He had already accepted it. Arrived in Jiazhou to report the situation.

"It is the duty of the patrol inspector to investigate the case, not to mention that the patrol inspector is an official directly sent by the imperial inspectorate, and he is not a member of our inspector general's office." Li Tianjing naturally wanted to shirk it.

"Hey, you two adults, now is not the time to hold people responsible. I think it's better to discuss how to quell the chaos." Peng Qing quickly brought the subject back to business. There was civil unrest in Shaanxi and it was difficult to calm down the unrest. We must find them. The key is that the Commander-in-Chief has no money.

"Putting down the chaos is naturally the responsibility of the Du Si Yamen. Isn't it the purpose of the imperial court to set up Du Si?" Ye Tinggui's division of responsibilities among the three divisions was naturally Menqing.

"Yes, if the governor fails to quell the chaos, I will come over to supervise it. It is not our business to quell the rebellion now." Li Tianjing also ignored the matter and ignored it. This was the norm for officials in the Ming Dynasty, so The imperial court also established governors and governors to coordinate the actions of the three divisions.

"Two adults, sending troops is naturally our responsibility, but we don't have military funds now. We have to ask Mr. Ye to provide it as soon as possible." Peng Qing had no choice but to say it directly.

"Our Chief Secretary's office has no money. Now the power of tax collection has been directly taken over by the governor's office. How about we wait for Mr. Futai to come back and report to him for his decision?" Ye Tinggui doesn't want to take over the supply of money and food. Now the landlord's family is There is no food left.

"Master Ye, I don't know when Governor Sun will come back. We can't wait to put an end to the chaos." Peng Qing immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

"No matter how urgent this matter is, civil unrest in Shaanxi will not happen once or twice. Master Peng should find out the situation first. How many troops and horses are needed and how much money is spent, so that we can make plans." Ye Tinggui did Tai Chi. .

"Suppressing the chaos is like putting out a fire. You really can't wait too long, you have to do it as soon as possible. Mr. Ye, please be sure to allocate some money and food first." Peng Qing knew that if the civil unrest was not put out as soon as possible, it would soon become a prairie fire. , let alone a county magistrate rebelling.

Before Ye Tinggui could reply, a messenger came in with another piece of urgent military information.

Cao Xiong, the general commander of the capital, took it over and said, "Sir, this is an urgent report from Yulin City's General He Shijie, saying that the attack of the Zhenming Army led by the Fugu County Magistrate was repelled, and Yulin City was not lost. But the city suffered heavy losses, especially all the weapons and supplies were burned, so they could only hold on to Yulin City and were unable to send troops to quell the chaos."

"Oh, it seems that Fugu County Magistrate Lin Feng's rebellion has been confirmed, but they failed to capture Yulin City even though they cooperated internally and externally. There should not be many troops. We should send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible." Peng Qing continued.

"The attack on Yulin City failed. It seems that the threat of the Fugu rebellion will not be too great. The existing troops of Shaanxi Dusi are enough to quell the rebellion. Since Peng Dusi has proposed it, I will lead the Yan'an Prefecture to fully support you. "Ye Tinggui saw that there was hope for quelling the chaos, and in order to share some of the credit, he finally relaxed.

"This constitution will also supervise the Yan'an government to strengthen its support for the capital." Li Tianjing, the inspector general, also interjected and said, how could he not participate in this meritorious matter.

"That's it. I have other things to do and I'll leave first." After Ye Tinggui said that, he withdrew.

Naturally, Li Tianjing would not stay, and immediately left. Even if the matter of quelling the chaos officially fell on Peng Qing, the commander of the capital.

Peng Qing could only shake his head helplessly. This was the current situation in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone was a master who took credit and blamed others. If there were benefits, he would follow them. If there were difficulties, he would leave immediately.
