Daming heir

Chapter 385 The world is in chaos

On the embankment of the Yellow River.

The officers and soldiers reported the names of the prefectures under Henan Dao, and the officials present were shocked again and again.

When there is only one Kaifeng mansion left in Henan Province, there is no rebellion, but it has been targeted by rebels from all over the country.

Yu Ma, who was joking with Pei Benzhi on the levee, immediately changed his face.

"Come on!"

"Guard!"

Yu Ma had already pulled out the saber from his waist, and stood beside Zhu Yunxi, his face was tense and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is a rebellion in Henan at this time, and I ask your Highness to return to Kaifeng City quickly, to serve everyone military guard."

The procurator Gao Guang was completely dumbfounded.

How come the whole territory of Henan Province rebelled?

I have not been working for a few days as a big official in the frontier, and I am going to rule and rebel against the Central Plains.

Gao Gaoguang whispered again and again: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

On the embankment, everyone's face was ugly.

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly, looking at Zhu Yunxi's back with complicated eyes.

Even he was concealed this time, let alone people like Pei Benzhi and Gao Gaoguang?
Pei Benzhi and Gao Guang, the newly-appointed officials of the various departments of Henan Province, have only taken office for a few days.As long as brother Xing deliberately conceals it, they will never know what the big gentry who are born and bred under the rule are doing.

Henan Road is in chaos.

All the millions of subjects in Henan Province were in chaos.

Although he has never seen the rebels appearing in front of his eyes, Zhu Gaochi looked at the vast river plain outside the embankment, but he seemed to see countless rebels, sweeping all the places like wasp worker ants.

Pei Benzhi, the newly appointed chief envoy of Henan Province, finally came to his senses after a brief shock.

He quickly led Henan officials to stand in front of Zhu Yunxi.

Under the leadership of Pei Benzhi, the officials all bowed their heads and asked: "Your Highness, please drive back to Kaifeng Prefecture. The high wall of Kaifeng Prefecture is blocking it, and the army and horses of the Henan Province army camps are in front. Henan Province vows to protect Your Highness to the death."

Pan Deshan suddenly rushed from the slant to the front of the crowd, and squeezed into Zhu Yunxi's sight.

Pan Deshan's face turned red, and he clasped his hands into fists: "Your Highness, I ask your Highness to support three... one thousand troops! There are still countless river control supplies, grain and grass in stock here, so there must be no loss. I would like to lead troops to station here to guard the Governor's Mansion of the Yellow River Water Affairs Not a penny is lost in the accounts!"

Yu Ma let out a low voice: "Governor Pan! It is most important to ask Your Highness to return to the city at this moment! No matter how important your Governor's Mansion is, it is important to have the safety of His Highness's daughter? When His Highness returns to Kaifeng City, I will give you the Governor's Mansion. Thousands of troops!"

Pei Benzhi and the others bowed again: "Your Highness, please hurry back to Kaifeng City!"

Zhu Yunxi's face was calm, looking at these officials who had heard of the rebellion, he couldn't help chuckling.

"Did the rebels attack Kaifeng City?"

"Or are those traitors already in front of Gu's eyes?"

Officials such as Pei Benzhi and Gao Gaoguang, as local officials, would panic when they heard of the rebellion, and they were even more worried about their own safety.Zhu Yunxi became increasingly unable to show any nervousness.

He asked a few questions back and silenced Pei Benzhi, Gao Gaoguang and others.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Henan Road is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the folk customs are simple and simple. Why are there rebellions everywhere? It's just that many rebellious officials and thieves are bewitching people's hearts, deceiving the people, and coercing the good people to create chaos."

Pei Benzhi finally spoke for the first time after hearing the news of the rebellion throughout Henan Province: "Your Highness, no matter what the current situation in Henan Province is. As officials of Henan Province, I should protect His Highness. Your Highness's daughter is safe and sound. Since I have no distractions, I will do my best to deal with the Henan rebellion."

Pei Dachuan felt that maybe he shouldn't have been an official in Henan Province in the first place.

First of all, the county magistrate who has worked for eight full years, it is clear that the people under the rule have praised their merits, but there has been no promotion for eight years.Finally, Henan Province waited for the emperor's grandson to help the disaster, and he suddenly rose up these days, and he was officially appointed as the chief envoy of Henan Province.

As long as I work hard for a few years, I may still have a chance to meet the youngest frontier official of the empire who is far away thousands of miles away, but has countless praises and reputations in the court. .

At that time, I can also compare myself with the other party, who is more capable of governing the place for the herdsmen of the Holy Son of Heaven.

But who would have imagined that now Henan Province is full of rebellions and the whole territory has fallen.

Although the empress dowager Sun Quantong immediately pushed forward various reforms immediately after His Majesty Quantong, Pei Benzhi had already predicted that there would be troubles in Henan Province.

But who would have known that it turned out to be a rebellion of this scale and momentum.

According to what the officers and soldiers said, there are at least [-] rebels on Henan Road at this moment!
The grandson of the emperor must not have an accident in Henan!
This is Pei Benzhi's only thought at the moment, as long as the emperor's grandson is safe, Henan Road can hope to completely put down the rebellion in the shortest possible time.

Zhu Yunxi always maintained a calm expression.

Under Pei Benzhi's repeated urging, he took everyone back to Kaifeng City just now.

As for Pan Deshan, who was originally planning to hire a military horse to personally guard the construction site under the Yellow River embankment as a third-rank official, Zhu Yunxie forced him to drag him all the way into Kaifeng City.

It's just a few grains and materials. Compared with Pan Deshan's own river control talent, even if all the materials are lost, it's nothing to Zhu Yunxi.

A group of people surrounded Zhu Yunxi nervously and returned to Kaifeng City.

When the last officer and soldier entered the city gate.

With a bang sound, the heavy city gate of Kaifeng Prefecture was slammed shut from the inside by the city guards.

Gongs and drums sounded on the city wall.

As the thoroughfare of the eight provinces, although Kaifeng Fucheng is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is also equipped with heavy firearms that are only one level lower than Yingtian City.

On the city wall, a cannon with a thick bowl mouth was pushed out of the city wall.

The number of officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city wall has increased significantly compared to the previous few days.

There is a killing atmosphere in the eyes.

When Zhu Yunxi was escorted by officials and soldiers and horses, he was rushing to the chief envoy's yamen.The Jinyiwei officers and soldiers stationed in the city are sweeping out spies in the streets and alleys, searching for secret sentries.

Everywhere in the city, there were bursts of fighting sounds from time to time.

Zhu Gaochi rode a horse and followed Zhu Yunxie.

He looked left and right, and his eyes shrank involuntarily.

Today, I seem to have never seen Tian Mai and Zhang Hui!

Obviously, these two people got the news early in the morning, and it is very likely that when the news of the rebellion in the whole territory of Henan Road came out, the two began to hunt down those secret agents in the city.

When all the people entered the Yamen of the Chief Envoy of Henan Road.

Zhu Gaochi saw that many officials who had not left the city today had already gathered in the courtroom.He looked up and searched inside and out, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Hui alone in the corner.

No trace of Tian Mai has been seen.

Zhu Gaochi felt a little heavy in his heart, so he couldn't help but look at Zhang Hui a few more times. When he saw the dark red blood stains under Zhang Hui's sleeves, his pupils couldn't help shrinking. Pressing the countless questions in his heart, Zhu Gaochi walked away. When you arrive at the public case, stand still.

Zhu Yunxi stood calmly behind the case, watching the officials of the Third Division of Henan Province who were handling affairs in the city.

"At present, the rebellion in Henan Province is on the rise. I think you and others have also got the news. At present, there are more news, which I have never heard."

"His Royal Highness, in Luoyang City, Henan Province, the 1 garrison guards have rebelled and have now occupied Luoyang City. There are also large gentry families in Luoyang City supporting them, gathering [-] township braves, and occupying Luoyang City. The counties in Henan Province are currently investigating. I don't know, but the ministers and others estimate that there are no less than [-] brave rebels in the village."

A new official of the chief envoy's yamen gave everyone present a slap in the face as soon as he opened his mouth.

"[-] traitors in Henan Mansion?"

"Where did this news come from? Where did these traitors come from!"

"If there are [-] rebels in one prefecture of Henan Province, how many rebels should there be in the whole territory of Henan Province!"

"impossible!"

"No way!"

"This number is absolutely impossible!"

With the Henan Province occupying the land of a single government, [-] rebels dominate, standing proudly at the head of the Henan Province.

The officials who had just rushed back from the embankment outside the city at the chief envoy's yamen court shouted angrily, their faces full of disbelief.

Even though they are all officials from various ministries of the imperial court and Jinshi Guanzheng who came from Yingtian this time, they have been officials in Henan Province for a short time.

But now that they are officials of Henan Province, how could they possibly believe that there can be [-] rebels in one province of Henan Province.

What made everyone even more disturbed was that there were still five thousand officers and soldiers from the Tuntian Guards in Luoyang City participating in the rebellion.

Officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty guards participated in the rebellion.

This is something that has not happened for many years, but now it is actually placed before everyone's eyes.

Pei Benzhi had already waved his robe and knelt on the ground.

"Under Henan Dao's rule, the subjects rebelled, and the officers and soldiers of the guards rebelled. It is the incompetence of the ministers and others. They have failed the expectations of the court and His Highness, and the responsibility of the ministers cannot be escaped!"

Fortunately, the civil uprising is relatively easy to quell the rebellion.

But now even the army has rebelled. No matter how you say it, Pei Ben must bear this responsibility as the governor of Henan Province.

When he knelt down like this, Gao Gaoguang and Yu Ma beside him could only kneel helplessly.

Of the two of them, one is the inspector and the other is the commander.One was in charge of officials, the other was in charge of military horses, and the chief envoy knelt down to plead guilty, how could they be any better.

The three big men knelt down.

As a result, a bunch of new Henan officials in the back also knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Everyone's face was tense.

Many people began to fantasize in frustration that Henan Dao had just had a big change of blood up and down, and now it is going to have another big change of blood?

In the courtroom, it suddenly became silent.

Zhu Yunxi sighed softly, seemed a little absent-minded, and slowly sat on the top chair, with a white jade finger-wrench palm, he tapped lightly on the table, as if tapping on everyone's hearts.

Zhu Gaochi heard about the rebellion throughout the Henan Province from the embankment, and his brows never loosened.

Looking at the terrible silence in front of me at this moment.

He coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Go on, no matter how chaotic Henan Road is now, how far can it go!"

The officials staying in the city today looked at each other.

"His Royal Highness, the rebellion came too fast, it seems that all regions have discussed it in advance, and all of them have rebelled today.

Since His Highness left the city today, the ministers have been receiving messages from various places, although there are some places that have not arrived.However, the ministers and others predicted that the number of people who have been involved in the rebellion in Henan Province this time is no less than [-]...

Among them, the situation in Henan Province is the most serious, and in other places, officers and soldiers from the Tuntian Guards participated in the rebellion, about [-] people..."

In the end, the official who responded was silent.

In the courtroom, there was once again complete silence.

"A crowd of fifteen thousand." Zhu Yunxi sneered, then turned to look at Zhu Gaochi: "Young Master Yan, under the command of General Zhengnan, how many troops are there at this moment?"

Zhu Gaochi's shoulders trembled, and he turned around and said in a low voice: "The generals will take turns to go south in the spring, and there are about [-] troops under the general's command at this moment."

Zhu Yunxi smiled again: "The general has [-] soldiers and horses, opened up two territories for our dynasty, and is still fighting in the south to open up territories. But there are [-] people involved in the rebellion in Henan Province, really..."

This is already obvious, and it is very heartbreaking.

Pei Benzhi said tremblingly, "Your Highness..."

Bang!
Zhu Yunxi slapped the table heavily with his palm: "This is the good gentry of the Ming Dynasty! Such kind people!"

After scolding, Zhu Yunxi let out a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaochi shrank his feet back. When Brother Xun said this, it already showed that he was ready to tear all his face.

After getting along for many years, Zhu Gaochi knew very well what brother Xie, who was the grandson of the Ming emperor, thought of those gentry and kind people.

What happened in Donghuzhuang just happened not long ago.

Pei Benzhi, Gao Gaoguang and the others also frowned upon hearing the sound.

The emperor's grandson did not accuse the officers and soldiers of the Tuntian Guards of Henan Province for rebellion, nor did he say that the government's supervision was unfavorable. He named all the crimes on the heads of the gentry and kind people.

Just then.

There was a chaotic sound of tapping and tapping outside the yamen.

That was the sound of galloping horses.

After a while, the sound of treading footsteps came from outside the courtroom.

"Report!"

"Report!"

"Report!"

The emergency soldier with the red feather on his back rushed all the way into the courtroom and knelt before the case.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Shandong Dao is playing urgently."

The officials in the courtroom frowned, and their hearts became more and more troubled.

There is a rebellion in Henan Road at the moment, and Shandong Road is rushing again.

No one thinks that anything good will happen at this time.

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Read."

The urgent delivery soldier took out the official document from his arms, and hurriedly said loudly: "Reporting to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of the Supervisory Kingdom, Shandong Dao is in rebellion in this life, led by the White Lotus Sect of the evil society, wild temple, and local gentry and landlords. Under Mount Tai, the government There is chaos in the county, and the water transportation is interrupted. Please urgently ask the imperial court to suppress the rebellion."

Chaos.

Totally messed up.

The entire Central Plains has become a mess.

When the officials in the yamen of the Chief Envoy of Henan Province heard the news that the water transportation had been interrupted, several people's eyes were darkened on the spot, and they fainted immediately.

As long as he is not a fool and is an official above the court, no one knows the importance of water transport to the empire.Even now, with the supplement of sea transportation headed by Huaiyou General and Zhongshan Wangfu, Daming still uses water transportation as the main north-south communication method.

Once the water transport was cut off, chaos broke out in Henan and Shandong. The current Daming can be described as a north-south interruption.

The world is in chaos!

A collapse, a flood, a government exchange, and a rebellion, the Ming Dynasty unexpectedly turned into chaos.

"Da Ming won't mess up!"

Zhu Yunxi stood up, shouted calmly and calmly, and woke up the officials who were still in shock and panic.

He stared at these officials intently, and spoke loudly.

"Da Ming will not be chaotic! Da Ming will not perish!"

After reiterating again, Zhu Yunxi issued an order: "Order."

Pei Benzhi, Gao Gaoguang, Yu Ma and others were all inspired.

"Sir wait."

Zhu Yunxi waved his robe and shook his sleeves, his eyes were clear: "Henan Dao's governor's official document announced that anyone who follows the rebellion can be exempted from crime if he abandons his weapons on the spot. Anyone who captures the leader of the rebel will be rewarded by the court for meritorious service. Anyone who kills the rebel, The imperial court bestows officials with titles. Anyone who rebels but refuses to surrender will be punished with death! Anyone who rebels against the leader will be punished with death!"

Pei Benzhi and the others cheered up and concentrated.

Hearing that the emperor's grandson wanted to announce the surrender of the rebellion, he felt more at ease, but finally heard that the emperor's grandson bestowed death on the nine clans of the rebel chief.

But Zhu Yunxi ignored it, and continued: "Henan Daodu commanded the Si Yamen, assembled the army and horses, the three armies marched out, distributed money and food, and encircled and suppressed the Luoyang rebels.

The [-] Beijing troops in Taikang County were ordered to wipe out the rebels in Chenzhou, Guide, Runing and Xuzhou.Order Zhongdu to stay behind and suppress the Gwangju rebellion.

An order was sent to Tongguan to summon the three guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion to go out of Tongguan to the east, to wipe out the rebels in Shanzhou Mansion, and to divide the troops to wipe out the rebels in Nanyang Mansion.

Shanxi Daoningshanwei and Luzhouwei were ordered to go south to clear up the rebels in Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion. "

As the commander of the capital of Henan Province, Yu Ma immediately said, "Your Highness, the Henan Province is full of rebellion, and every place is dangerous. If you divide the troops like this, I fear that the troops in each place will not be enough to quell the rebellion."

Gao Guang also opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the White Lotus Sect of Shandong Province colluded with the local rebellion, and the water transportation was interrupted, and they will also send troops to quell the town."

Zhu Yunxi sneered, and he looked sideways at Zhu Gaochi.

Then he looked at Zhu Shangbing next to him.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi continued: "I have ordered Lord Lanyu of the Liang Kingdom to lead troops east from Tongguan to control the rebellion and suppression in the west of Henan Province.

Zhang Zhiyuan, the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, was ordered to lead troops south to Shandong Road to command the troops of the Shandong Metropolitan Division to eliminate the chaos of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong Dao.

Xiping Hou Muying was ordered to lead troops to control the rebellion in the south of Henan Province to suppress the rebellion. "

Duke Liang and Marquis Xiping are here?

The frontier army and horses from the capital of Beiping are also here?

When Zhu Yunxi revealed all the secrets he had prepared long ago, the officials of Henan Province present were all amazed.

Liang Guogong has been sitting in the northwest frontier for the past two years, and when he came to the back of Tongguan, no one knows.No one knows when the Marquis of Xiping led the Beijing army to the south of Henan Road.

As for the matter of commanding the capital of Beiping, leading the frontier troops southward, no one dared to think about it.

At this time, Tian Mai, who had never been found by Zhu Gaochi, had quietly appeared in the courtroom.

Tian Mai waved his robe and knelt on one knee, speaking in a deep and powerful voice.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the ministers and others have learned that the prominent gentry families in Henan and Shandong provinces have collected books from all peoples, and have issued a document to answer the heavens. Please abolish Your Highness."
