Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 97
Shen Lian, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, pretended to be a refugee and came to Lijiazhuang, which was occupied by bandits, and hid in the corner.

Looking at the head of Datong Lieutenant General He Gang hanging on the flagpole, Shen Lian couldn't help clenching his fists even tighter, and climbed over the earth wall into the village, but he saw a bandit violently beating a civilian girl, so he didn't go to rescue him, because of this will reveal their whereabouts.

However, at this moment, Shen Lian saw that the violent bandit was actually showing his tail of money.

Looking at the thieves sitting on the ground resting in the distance, when they lifted their hoods, they also showed money rat tails.

Shen Lian hurriedly retreated, and said to a chief banner hiding outside the village: "Run to the capital immediately and tell Your Majesty, this is not a bandit, but a tartar!"

"It's a Tartar?"

"Yes, these bastards of dogs, Japan, let's go, before it's too late, I have to find out more about the truth of this Tartar", after Shen Lian said, Yi Zongqi had to order him to leave.

At this time, Shen Lian rolled into the manor again, and when he saw no one was around, he immediately used a silver needle to take the life of the happy fake thief Kou Zhentazi.

Then after throwing his body into a latrine, he changed into his bandit clothes and wrapped his turban, but it was impossible to tell that he was Jin Yiwei.

Here, Jianlu Beile Daishan, who had just robbed 300 million shi of grain, was coming out of a common people's house touching his belly. At the same time, Shuo Tuo, whose son was also Jianlu Taiji, was holding a Take out the bloody knife: "Father, these Ming people, do we still want to take them back as slaves?"

"Kill them all! Including children and women, the one named Zu only gave us three days. Once the Ming court finds out after three days, the consequences will be unimaginable. I will take the 300 million shi grains and leave the customs immediately. , you stay here and clean up here."

After Daishan said, Shuotuo hurriedly responded and immediately brought his own people to kill the gentry and common people who were kneeling on the ground.

All of a sudden, heads were flying and the wind was bloody, but these babbling Jianlu were even more excited.

Daishan couldn't help laughing at this time: "With these 300 million stone grains, the Great Khan will not worry about the famine this spring."

Saying that, Daishan hurriedly rode away, and the 300 million shi of grain behind him followed. Suddenly, at this moment, he saw a child hiding in the haystack, and Daishan didn't even think about it. An arrow shot over and hit the child in the neck.

"Baile is good at archery!" A subordinate could not help but praise.

And Shen Lian, who happened to be hiding not far from the child, couldn't help gritting his teeth: "These beasts!"

Immediately, Shen Lian left Lijiazhuang secretly.

However, when he left, Li Family Village had been slaughtered into a sea of ​​corpses and countless houses were burned down.

The shrill screams have been lingering in Shen Lian's ears ever since.

……

Fu Guan, who had finished fighting the Ministry of Rites, was besieging the Confucian Temple in Shuntian Prefecture with thousands of scholars.

The officers and soldiers of Shuntian Mansion did not dare to stop this group of Juren lords, and they all scattered aside.

Even the officials of Shuntian Mansion were deeply afraid that the group of juren masters would make a big mess, so they came to beg in person, but Fu Guan and others didn't respond.

However, unlike the Ministry of Rites, Fu Guan and thousands of scholars did not curse like shrews, but wept.

"People's hearts are not old, the morals of the world are not prosperous, scholars and scoundrels are rampant in the court, if the former teacher knows under the nine springs, he should not rest in peace, alas!"

Fu Guan kowtowed to Confucius while crying, and Wang Maoren and Mao Qizong who followed him also cried: "Scholar scum, rampant in the court!"

However, at this moment, Zu Yan from Liaodong came over and took Fu Guan secretly into the Confucian Temple:

"Master, the 300 million stone grains transported to Qin have been successfully looted by the Tartars. In addition, the news of the grain robbery has been revealed to Liu Fangming, a member of the frontier camp, and 50 stone grains have been distributed to him as agreed. It is estimated that in the next few days he will take the opportunity to raise troops and recruit hungry people. In addition, the Tartars outside the pass have decided to attack Liaodong before the end of the Korean War. Shock the court!"

Fu Guan nodded after hearing this, and immediately said with a smile: "Now His Majesty thinks that by eradicating Donglin and Shanxi Merchants, he can rule the world alone, but now I want to let him see what it's like to be in chaos in the world. There are bandits inside and outsiders I want everyone in the world to know how dangerous the current treacherous ministers have made the country. If the Zhu family still wants to sit on the world, they must listen to us, remove Qian Qianyi, and drive out the eunuchs. !"

As he said that, Fu Guan said to Zu Yan: "You are now the head of the Ministry of Officials. Unlike us, you can take the opportunity to contact the ministers of the court. Once Liu Fang's name is turned against me, I will lead the scholars to Chengtianmen to beat the drums and force the current officials Your Majesty, and your court ministers immediately launched a counterattack against the eunuchs by taking advantage of the rebellion of bandits and the entry of Tartars into the customs."

"Okay, I'll go tell Elder Li Ge right away." Zu Yan left after saying that.

……

Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, shook his head, frankly admitting that the Jinyiwei who came back only saw a large army of ragged bandits looting grain.

However, although Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood at this time, he did not lose Xu Xianchun's temper because of it. Seeing that Xu Xianchun was a little scared because of his gloomy face, he forced a smile: "Get up, don't blame yourself. It's normal for the news to be uncertain, and you should send someone to investigate again."

Zhu Youxiao faintly felt that this matter was not that simple, or it might be the counterattack caused by his elimination of Donglin and Shanxi Merchants during this period of time.

But now he can only let Jin Yiwei continue to investigate, and he can't act rashly at will, but even if the food is robbed, the people of Qin cannot ignore it.

"The decree was passed on to Sun Chengzong, the head of the trilateral system, saying that the food was robbed, and he was asked to find a way to raise food and grass by himself, and he must appease the hearts of the people."

Zhu Youjiao said, Wei Guangwei couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"I have to make it difficult! Otherwise, what else can I do!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly roared, and the suffocated anger in his heart rushed directly to Wei Guangwei, so frightened that Wei Guangwei bowed hurriedly and dared not speak any more.

After venting, Zhu Youxiao's mood improved a lot, and he sat down again to continue discussing with several important ministers in Xinuang Pavilion.

At this time, a Jin Yiwei held the gold medal in one hand and led the horse and galloped over: "Your Majesty, the latest news, it is not the bandits who robbed the food, but the Tartars, the Tartars!"

This Jinyiwei is the general banner that returned to Beijing under the order of Shen Lian. Zhu Youxiao had previously ordered the Jinyiwei to go straight to Xinuan Pavilion with the token, in order to allow emergency incidents to reach him immediately.

After listening to the Jinyiwei's report, Zhu Youxiao and other ministers were even more surprised, but immediately felt that it was reasonable, except for the Tartars, it was impossible for ordinary bandits to wipe out five thousand elite soldiers.
