Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Yu Zhaoan was released from prison and promoted.

He was promoted from the censor of Youqiandu to the censor of Zuoqiandu. Zuo Gui, lead Zuo, and be promoted properly. As for the original Zuo Qiandu Censor, he was transferred to other departments. The excuses were ready and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had neglected its duties.

Yu Zhaoan resurrected and began to work vigorously to flatter the old emperor and suppress dissidents, vowing to seize the status of Jiang Tu's favorite. But his methods are much higher than Jiang Tu. After all, he has a rich family background and a rich background.

Unlike Jiang Tu, who came from a grassroots background and didn't study much. He has been busy doing crooked things in these years and has never learned anything about serious conspiracy.

Make a judgment.

Yu Zhao'an gradually gained importance in front of the old emperor, and finally had some say. Although he can't compete with Jiang Tu yet, he has already given Jiang Tu a strong sense of uneasiness and regards him as his biggest competitor.

"Once a scholar is shameless, it's really hard to beat him!" Jiang Tu lamented.

In August, the religious bandit rebellion in Dongzhou gradually subsided, and no imperial troops were dispatched. The local garrison force and surrounding garrisons were able to resolve the civil unrest. It can be seen that the military organization ability of the religious bandits is extremely weak, but their ability to deceive villagers and foolish women is extremely powerful, and sooner or later they will reappear.

Chen Guanlou paid attention to the civil unrest in Dongzhou. He tried his best to find the imperial newspaper and get information from the Ministry of Justice through his connections. I have no other ideas, just to verify my guess.

After checking all the information, he did not see Zhang Daohe's name. He once suspected that he had guessed wrong.

It wasn't until he heard that the chaos had been quelled and that the saint and the leader of the cult bandits had escaped, that he felt a faint sense of certainty.

In September, in Pingzhou, adjacent to Jinzhou, Guo Dachun, the leader of the border army, was dissatisfied with his superior officers for embezzling pay and money, whipping the soldiers and erasing his own achievements. He was angry and killed the officials. He led a group of soldiers to rush out of the military camp, plundered the countryside, and hijacked the people. Kill officials and rebel! In just one month, the war swept through the entire Pingzhou.

The rebel King Ming of Jinzhou, who had been quiet for two years, resurrected, suddenly burst out of the mountains, and captured three cities in one go. This time, he changed his previous style of killing officials and large households. While opening warehouses to release grain, he also won over officials and large households for his own use. Even if the big officials refused to obey, he did not kill people at will. Instead, he sent silver coins and gifts out of the country. As for their belongings, all of them were confiscated.

Based on the territory of the three counties, we will expand and train the army while managing the territory.

This time, King Ming clearly learned from the experience of the first rebellion and listened to the advice of experts. He did not want to be a rogue bandit, but a sitting bandit, managing his own territory so that he could advance, attack, retreat and defend. He must not mess around like before and kill everyone. Who will run the business for him and who will collect taxes and grain for him.

Without taxation, if you don’t want to exploit the small people, you can only kill the big ones along the way. If he continues to kill like this, he will push the wealthy people and scholars to the side of the court. Even some rich peasants and ordinary people with small assets will not recognize him, thinking that he is a murderer and unpopular with the people.

Whoever has the right to speak will control the hearts of the people.

The right to speak is in the hands of scholars, landlords, and gentry.

However, the King of Ming Dynasty was not blindly tolerant towards big officials. Anyone with a bad reputation would be rectified on the spot, venting their anger on the people, in order to win over the people.

This behavior is indeed more uniting than the first rebellion. The team finally has its own program and a basic administrative structure. When taxes are collected next year and money is available, it will be able to expand its territory. Step by step, it will take over the entire Jinzhou and even the capital next door. The premise is that it can block the first two waves of the imperial court's offensive.

There was a rebellion in Pingzhou and Jinzhou, and the beacon fire was burning. The news spread to the capital, causing an uproar in the court.

The Ming King's resurgence is predictable.

Who is Guo Dachun? Where did this person come from? It turned out to be the head of the border army. Why did the soldiers and generals of the imperial court kill officials and rebel? What was the problem here? You must ask the Ministry of War carefully.

Ministry of War: ...

None of my business!

The salary was given, although it was not enough, but it was indeed given. Last year, while the rebel bandits in Jinzhou were being wiped out, I collected a sum of money from the old emperor. Not only did I get rid of the silver bounty for the bandits in Jinzhou, but Pingzhou next door also followed suit and changed my clothes.

Just tell me, what is the responsibility of the Ministry of War?

Guo Dachun's rebellion was clearly caused by the excessive corruption of local officials and the border army generals who regarded their soldiers as domestic slaves. This is a persistent problem that has persisted for many years. It is not the responsibility of the Ministry of War, but the problem of the border army system since our ancestors.

The Ministry of War shirks its responsibilities, the Ministry of Revenue accuses the Ministry of Embezzlement of military pay, and the Ministry of Personnel accuses the Ministry of War of loopholes in the general selection system. The Ministry of Civil Affairs should be allowed to get involved, and thousands of Guo Dachuns can be avoided. The Ministry of Industry accused the Ministry of War of holding back the old emperor's efforts to build palaces and gardens. The Ministry of Rites accused the Ministry of War of playing the piano randomly and not understanding education.

All in all, the Ministry of War must bear the responsibility for Guo Dachun's rebellion.

As for the Ming Dynasty King, that, this, still depends on Pingjiang Hou. Pingjiang Marquis was able to annihilate the Ming Dynasty once, and naturally he could annihilate the second time, and by the way, Guo Dachun was also annihilated.

The old emperor was not panicked at all, and was still practicing Taoism step by step to seek immortality.

He wore a Taoist robe, spread out his chest, held a whisk in his hand, his gray beard hung down to his chest, and walked around the Tai Chi Palace barefoot. Not to mention, he really smells like an immortal, provided you ignore the viciousness in his eyes.

"It's just King Ming, and that..." The old emperor's memory was a bit confusing.

"Guo Dachun." Qiu Defu reminded him in a low voice.

The old emperor snorted coldly, "If I can kill these two people once, I can kill them a second time."

Qiu Defu hesitated for a moment and reminded carefully, "The Ministry of Revenue is in a money crunch again."

"Ridiculous! The autumn tax has just been deposited, how come the Ministry of Revenue is out of money again? Where did the money go?"

The old emperor was furious.

Wars are fought for money.

Is it difficult to suppress Guo Dachun and the King of Daming?

In fact, it is not difficult. They are all small rebels who are not powerful enough.

The premise is that the soldiers are strong and the food and grass are sufficient. As long as the salary is sufficient, the officers and soldiers will scream and these thieves can be wiped out overnight.

However, the most difficult thing to suppress the bandits is to give enough salary. If the salary is really sufficient, Guo Dachun will not kill the officials and rebel.

The dry army is not full of salary, and the full salary is invincible. This is not a joke.

With the foundation of Dagan, there are so many good men in the army. If the food and grass are sufficient, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers will be increased tenfold. Let alone one Ming king, even ten Ming kings would be no problem.

But the difficulty lies in the lack of money!

The old emperor has money in his treasury, but with his stingy and greedy temperament, he will never take out the silver unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Your Majesty, the court officials are still waiting to listen to the holy teachings!" Qiu Defu had to remind him in a low voice. For such a big matter, the court officials are waiting for the old emperor to make a decision.

The court officials did give a solution, not to bother two masters for one thing, or let Pingjiang Hou lead the army to suppress the bandits, the key is how to solve the money and food problem?
