I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 230 The army opens

On the reviewing platform, Hu Zongxian looked at the soldiers who were full of murderous spirits, coughed twice, and said in a deep voice.

"My official is Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province. You must be very curious. The Japanese pirates along the southeast coast are about to be wiped out. Why do I have to spend so much time gathering so many soldiers?"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian withdrew his gaze and increased the volume.

"Because, our purpose of this operation is not to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but to put down the rebellion!"

"what!"

After the soldiers in the audience heard the news from Hu Zongxian, their faces were full of horror.

However, due to strict military discipline and the habits they have developed for a long time, these soldiers still maintained their previous posture, but there was a little more shock in the eyes they looked at Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian seemed very satisfied with the reaction of the soldiers in the audience, paused for a moment, and emphasized it again.

"You heard me right, it's a rebellion!"

"Currently, the local officials in Jiangxi have colluded with the group of salt merchants to capsize the ships transporting official salt from the imperial court and make huge profits! The local people are in dire straits and are waiting for us to rescue them."

"Besides, Cao Shunhe, governor of Jiangxi Province, has been evacuated by those officials. Do you think this counts as rebellion?"

"Yes!"

What responded to Hu Zongxian was a deafening sound, and the emotions of many soldiers in the audience had also been mobilized by Hu Zongxian.

"So, what should be done to deal with these rebels?"

"Kill kill kill!"

But this time, the sound wave from the audience was much louder than before, which made Hu Zongxian's eardrums hurt.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian continued after looking around.

"In this battle, anyone who encounters resistance will be killed!"

"In addition, according to the usual practice, all the soldiers who go on an expedition will be paid double the salary. If there is an unfortunate death, the court will pay double the pension, and the remaining family members and children will also be supported by the local government. !"

"Except for the part that must be handed over, you can keep the proceeds you have seized this time."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he swept his eyes over the faces of the soldiers in the audience one by one.

After a long time, he continued: "Do you have any comments on this?"

"If not, then pass on the order of my officer, and the whole army will be dispatched to Jiangxi immediately to suppress the rebellion!"

"Yes!"

Immediately after the sound of horseshoes, wandering on the official road, more than [-] elite Ming troops, experienced in hundreds of battles and armed to the teeth, marched towards the neighboring province of Jiangxi under the leadership of Hu Zongxian.

And Wang Shun, since he took part in the capture of Wang Zhi last time, he was also successfully promoted to the position of President Qian by virtue of his accumulated merits!

At present, the number of soldiers under his command has reached nearly a thousand, but his duties have not changed. He is still the former army of the army, responsible for scouting out the enemy's situation and fighting.

This operation was still under the command of Hu Zongxian in the central army, and the remaining soldiers were under the command of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou respectively.

"Since the army is going to quell the rebellion, killing people will definitely be necessary. If you perform well then kill a few more, so that you can accumulate some credit, and maybe you can become a general!"

"At that time, I, Wang Shun, can be regarded as a glorious ancestor!"

On the way of marching, Wang Shun rode on the horse, turned around and looked at the endless soldiers behind him, thinking so in his heart.

……

Jiangxi, Nanchang Prefecture.

Since Liang Hong expressed his reluctance to continue taking risks, Li Yide and He Jin often visited his home, tried their best to lure him into the group, and promised to give him more shares.

Under the temptation of the white money, Liang Hong wavered!He decided to gamble this one last time.

"Before we officially start, let's test out the reality of Cao Shun and the governor of Jiangxi?"

Li Yide rolled his eyes and his face was full of smiles.

"what do you mean……"

He Jin on the side seemed to have guessed what Li Yide wanted to do, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"That's right, let's take advantage of this time to raise the price of salt! Let's see how Cao Shunhe will react."

"If he continues to behave as before, it will prove that he is really at the end of his rope."

"Let's start the next step, right?"

After Li Yide finished speaking, his face was full of complacency.

"But will this make him make up his mind to tear himself apart with us?"

Liang Hong, who was on the side, was still a little worried about this, and then added.

"What are you afraid of? He should be begging us now!"

"At that time, if Cao Shunhe comes to us to discuss this matter, we will pretend that we don't know about it, and throw a few shopkeepers out at that time to calm down the anger."

"In this way, everyone can live in face."

"That's the deal with this matter, I'll give you an order to raise the prices of all the salt shops in the city!"

After Li Yide finished speaking, he left quickly without waiting for any reaction from the remaining two.

"Wait, I still feel like..."

Just when Liang Hong came to his senses and wanted to stop him, he realized that Li Yide had gone far away.

"If this goes on, nothing will happen, right?"

Liang Hong looked at the back of Li Yide leaving, his face was full of worry.

"probably not."

He Jin beside him looked thoughtful and responded.

……

Soon, all the salt shops in the city received orders from their owners to increase the price of salt to twenty Wen a catty!
"Give me a catty of salt!"

As the man spoke, he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the clerk.

"Sorry, just now there is news from the owner that the salt in stock is almost sold out!"

"In order not to lose money, the price of salt has now risen to [-] Wen a catty."

I saw the shopkeeper chuckle lightly, and saw that his eyes turned to the visitor, saying so.

"But... But, I only have so much money!"

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, the visitor's face was full of anxiety. Even though he searched every pocket on his body, he couldn't find even a penny!
"If you don't have enough money, you can't sell the salt. You'd better collect enough money to buy it!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip, looking very leisurely.

"you!"

The person who came was irritated by the shopkeeper's superior appearance, and then angrily reprimanded.

"The price of salt in this city is getting higher and higher day by day, from seven yuan at the beginning to seventeen yuan a catty!"

"Later, under the intervention of the governor, the price was barely reduced to [-] cents, and now the price is raised on the pretext that the salt in stock is about to be sold out!"

"Are you paying attention to the government? If the government finds out, none of you will be able to escape!"

The words of the visitor also resonated with the people present.

"Yes, the price of salt in the city remains high right now, but salt is a necessity, and we have to eat it."

"If a person does not eat salt, he will not even have the strength to work!"

Therefore, the common people have to eat salt when they are busy, and try not to eat salt when they are free.

If you really can't bear it anymore, put the salt in front of yourself, watch while swallowing the food in your mouth.

"The price of salt in the city varies from day to day. Is there any law of heaven? Is there any law of the king!"

"Come on, let's go to the governor and let him uphold justice for us."

"Yes, let's go, let's go to the Governor!"

And the shopkeeper of Huitong Salt Shop, looking at the excited people in front of him, could not help showing a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"You go ahead, in the end, it's just a waste of effort!"

The crowd was quickly mobilized and gathered in the direction of the government office. This time, the number of people gathered this time was countless times greater than before.

The reason is that the high salt price in the city has far exceeded the tolerance of the common people, and they can't stand it anymore!
Everyone made up their minds in their hearts. Today, the governor must give himself an explanation, otherwise, he will stay at the gate of the government office and not leave.
