Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 163 The chaotic situation in the southeast, the anxious chapter prime minister

"Who is the leader?"

Emperor Song, who was sitting on the throne, did not panic like the courtiers, but instead asked unusually calmly.

Prime Minister Zhang He did not expect the officials to be so calm in the face of this matter, he was a little stunned for a while, but soon came back to his senses, and respectfully replied: "It is reported that the scale of the rebellion is the largest among the rebels, and it has affected the whole country. The most widespread one is Fang Lazhong in Qingxi County!
It is said that this thief was originally an employee of the local No. [-] Baozheng's head, but he was bold by nature and was well-known among the local people.

This sudden uprising had tens of thousands of supporters, and people in other counties and counties flocked to it after hearing the news. In less than half a month, more than a dozen counties in the entire Sunan County have been killed. Fall into his hands!
He even calls himself Shenggong, and now he has gathered nearly 50 anti-thieves, forming a mighty trend!

Your Majesty, the imperial court must pay attention to this matter!Innocent people in nearly half of Sunan County were murdered by them, their families were ruined, and their wealth was even robbed. It can be described as horrible! "

After Zhang He finished speaking, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were moved.

Even Ding Nie, who is a captain, showed a dignified expression.

According to Zhang He, the number of thieves is close to 50, which is less than half a month, and it may directly exceed one million in half a month.

Ding Nie doesn't care if it's tens of thousands of 10,000+, but it's just a mob. All the generals under his command can throw out one and bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to chase and fight.

But once the number of people rises to one million, it will be different. It is a qualitative change. There are so many people, not to mention people, once pigs attack, there will be a sea of ​​people, even if the number of elite troops is not enough, they will be killed abruptly Exhausted!

Even when facing so many enemies, the morale of the soldiers under him will drop a bit first, and they will not be able to exert their full combat power at all.

And it is not an easy task to mobilize more troops to encircle and suppress. Let alone whether the imperial court has so many troops that can be mobilized, the logistics of such a large army are enough to let Da Song is miserable now!
This is not a small team of hundreds or thousands of people. The daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is an astronomical figure. If you add up people, horses, food and grass, you will have to use more than a million logistics workers!
Therefore, it is simply unrealistic for Da Song, who is already in a financial deficit, to mobilize such a large army to counter the rebellion!
Not only did he know this truth, but all the officials in the court who knew a little about military affairs also figured out the difficulties and showed worried expressions.

Zhang He glanced around, and after seeing everyone's expressions, he showed a satisfied expression on his face, that's right, you will be anxious only when you know the seriousness of the problem.

If you are in a hurry, you can quickly find a way to put down the rebellion. If you don't put down the rebellion, let alone Sunan County, even the gentry and wealthy families in Jianjiang County, Suxi County, and Haifu County around Sunan County will suffer!

That goddamn Fang La, you rebelled as soon as you rebelled, why didn't you commit any crimes against the people in the captured counties and counties, and instead killed all the local gentry officials?

After the uprising Fang La acquired the property of these gentry officials, his own power grew further, and then he killed more gentry officials!

He almost regarded all the gentry officials in the southeast as cash machines, otherwise Zhang He would not have been so anxious and directly revealed this matter at the court meeting.

You must know that if such a thing happened in the past, the people below would not come up so quickly. Instead, they might cooperate with the rebel thieves to steal things.

After earning enough, design a plan to kill these self-righteous mud legs directly.

The local officials not only made a lot of money, but also got good achievements in fighting the rebellion and rebels bravely, and their official positions could be improved to a higher level.

At first, when Fang La raised the flag, the local officials didn't take it seriously. They wanted to use them as before, and then use them to exchange political achievements.

Who knew that Fang La didn't take this kind of trick, he cut off the people sent by the officials and gentry, and then led a group of people into the county, massacred and ransacked these gentry officials!
It can be said that wherever he and his thieves went, the local gentry and official class came directly without leaving a blade of grass.

As long as they are in this class, and the local people report on them, they will all be killed!

Until he captured several county towns in a row, all the gentlemen also reacted after doing this!

Good guy, this guy is not the kind of mud-legged person who rebelled with his blood. This looks like an organized and premeditated act of revenge!

And the target of his revenge is their gentry class, this is the real rebel!

Only then did they realize that they were in a panic, and hurriedly urged the government of Sunan County to send troops to suppress the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, the rebellion became more and more serious, and many officers and soldiers who were sent there turned their backs!
The reason is that they have not received military pay for a long time, and the local officials often squeeze them to work without giving them money, and completely treat them as slaves.

They quit!
He fell directly to Fang La's side on the battlefield, and helped him kill those former superiors!

The defection of the officers and soldiers immediately caused an uproar in the entire Sunan County, and the rebels were getting closer and closer to them.

In the few county towns in Sunan County that had not yet been captured, the local gentry hurriedly pooled money to make up for the salaries of the officers and soldiers, and even paid them a few years more.

This made them feel a little more at ease.

After Fang La's army came to these counties, these soldiers who had received enough military pay also showed the combat effectiveness of the regular army, relying on the advantage of the city wall to block them.

But it was just tolerable. If the imperial court did not send troops to support them, even if they were given ten times the military pay, they would still be unable to hold on.

This is the reason why Zhang He didn't wait for the officials below to report the matter level by level, and directly said it in the morning court.

Because of his family, Zhang's family in Lishui is in Jianjiang County. Once Sunan County can't keep it, the Fangla people will inevitably flood into Jianjiang, and the Zhang family may not be spared by then!
Emperor Song sat on the throne, looking at the expressions of his highness and all the officials, especially Zhang He's seemingly calm, but in fact panicked old dog's anxious expression, he secretly laughed in his heart.

My Prime Minister Zhang, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry, anyway, I am not in a hurry, even if I am, I am not as anxious as you!
As a king of a country, or a king like him who stabilized the originally turbulent court situation at the beginning of his supremacy, how could he not know about Fang La's uprising.

He had received news from the Imperial City Division from the very beginning, but for some reason, he didn't stop it in advance, but let it grow stronger.

No one knew what he was thinking, and no one would have thought that he actually wanted to do this!
There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Emperor Song's mouth. Others didn't see it, but Zhao Jun, who had been looking around with an old god, just happened to notice it, and he was taken aback.

The uprising in the southeast is so big, as the king of a country, he is not in a hurry, but he is still laughing?

What does this mean? !
