I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 30: Coping with the Rebellion in She'an
The next day, Yang Lian made preparations early and headed to the Forbidden City.

After getting on the sedan chair, he arrived at Zuoyemen not long after and explained his purpose of coming. The eunuch who had been waiting for him took Yang Lian into the Forbidden City and led him to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Only when we arrived did we know that Zhu Youzheng was meeting Luo Sigong at this time, so he asked him to wait for a while in Wenyuan Pavilion to wait for the summons.

······
"Your Majesty, this time I have selected Yang Yishan, a fellow commander and commander, and more than 50 people with strong character, loyalty and reliability from Beizhen Fusi and Dongxisi Fang to serve in Liaodong."

In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Luo Sigong was reporting to Zhu Youxiao on the preparations for this trip.Ever since he received Zhu Youxiao's instructions last time, he understood that this was a good opportunity to expand Jin Yiwei's authority.

The Jin Yiwei can only move around the capital, responsible for arresting the city, guarding and correcting rituals, etc. They have long lost the power they had in the Hongwu period.

Now being able to go to Liaodong to hunt down spies and spy on Jianlu secret agents will undoubtedly expand the scope of Jinyiwei's authority from the capital to the whole country. Currently it is only in Liaodong, but in the future it may be Mongolia, southwest, northwest and other places.

Therefore, when he returned, he discussed with his subordinates and decided to send his deputy Yang Yishan as the leader. This person was thoughtful and experienced in doing things, so it was more reassuring for him to be in charge.

At the same time, after his son Luo Yangxing heard about it, he also wanted to volunteer to go there. Although Liaodong was bitterly cold, it was very easy to make meritorious deeds. As long as he made meritorious service, it would be easier for him to rely on Enyin Jinyiwei to serve as an official after returning to Beijing. After thinking about it, he felt that it was still too much. Danger, no consent.

"Yes, but you must pay attention. These people are all state officials who serve the country. It is bitterly cold in Liaodong. I also handed over the funds from internal funds to you last time. If something unexpected happens, don't treat them badly."

Zhu Youxiao also knew that it was not easy to do counterinsurgency work, let alone to lurk with Jianlu. This was not something ordinary people could bear. If they were not determined, they would not be treated badly.

"Your Majesty cares about these people, and I am very grateful. When I go back, I will definitely bring your Majesty's instructions to them. You must not treat them badly." Luo Sigong couldn't help but feel grateful after hearing this. He also knew how difficult it was to go there.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the couch and waved his hands when he heard the words, "There is no need to flatter you, just do your best. Remember that when you go to Liaodong, you can only be responsible for Xiong Tingbi and others."

Don't pay attention to others, put the overall situation first, and don't do anything wrong. At the same time, I asked them to submit reports and summaries frequently, and they must be able to report once a month, so that I can have an idea. "

Luo Sigong nodded quickly in agreement.

"After the matter in Liaodong is over, I want you to do something." After Zhu Youxiao said this, he motioned to the eunuch serving in Nuan Pavilion to let them out. After they closed the door, he waved and asked Luo Sigong to walk towards Come.

"I have a top-secret matter for you to handle. I received a secret report from the Southwest a few days ago, saying that She Chongming, the Xuanfu Secretary in Yongning, Sichuan, and An Bangyan, the co-president of Xuanwei in Shuixi, Guizhou, were instigating each other and intending to rebel.

After receiving the secret, I couldn't sleep or eat well. The war in Liaodong is now urgent. Chieftains such as She Chongming and An Bangyan are deeply entrenched in the southwest. If war breaks out in the southwest again, I am afraid that the court will be overwhelmed and unable to deal with it.

Therefore, I asked you to immediately prepare two teams and go to Sichuan and Guizhou respectively to investigate in secret and learn the details. If there are indeed signs of rebellion, report it to me and the governors of Sichuan and Guizhou immediately so that the court can prepare early.

Remember, this matter must be done quickly. If you get up in the past few days, the more time you confirm, the more time the court will have to prepare. "

Luo Sigong nodded solemnly. He knew that this matter was important and must not be taken lightly.

"Understood, I will definitely select capable officers and set off in the next few days to confirm the situation."

"That's good. I will remember your loyalty to the country. Go ahead and do your business well."

Luo Sigong immediately kowtowed and retreated.

The She'an Rebellion became famous in later generations and spread to the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi.From the first year of Tianqi to the tenth year of Chongzhen, it lasted for 17 years, and large-scale fighting lasted for 9 years, with more than one million casualties.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knows this, but he has been busy stabilizing the affairs of the court and Liaodong before, and now he can finally arrange it secretly.

As far as he knew, She Chongming and others had already rebelled. Historically, it was because the imperial court was defeated in the Battle of Liaoshen next year. She Chongming took the opportunity to capture Chongqing and started to cause rebellion on the grounds that he had requested 2 horses and infantry to aid the Liao Dynasty.Then in February of the second year of Tianqi, An Bangyan raised troops to respond to Sichuan Yongning's Xuanfu envoy She Chongming's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty. He called himself the "King of Luodian" and led 10 rebels to besiege Guiyang, the capital of central Guizhou.

According to history, there was still one year to prepare for She Chongming, and the court had one and a half years for the Anbangyan Rebellion.There is plenty of time, and it is not too late to prepare now.

When Wang An saw Luo Sigong leaving outside the palace, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of instructions the emperor gave Luo Sigong, and why he wanted to shield the people around him. However, his many years of service experience made him understand that if you can't pry, don't pry.

He walked into the conservatory carrying a bowl of pear soup and saw Zhu Youzheng reading the question book on the couch.

"Long live Lord, please take a break. I just finished meeting Luo Sigong, and now I am reading the question book. It is too exhausting. I have asked you to make some pear soup for you. You can try it to soothe your throat."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao put down his question book, rubbed his eyes, then stretched and got off the bed.

"It's okay. I should have learned more and read more. Didn't Lu Fangweng say it? What I read on paper will eventually make me realize it. I know that I have to do it personally. I can't move in the Forbidden City myself, so I can only learn more and read more. , just ask more.”

As he spoke, he took the pear soup from Wang An and began to taste it bite by bite.

"It's not bad. It tastes sweet. I put your heart into it."

As he said this, he suddenly remembered,
"Is Yang Lian already here?"

Wang An heard this, bowed and said:

"Yes, I just heard from the young eunuch that Yang Lian is waiting at Wenyuan Pavilion, waiting for His Majesty's summons.

But you have just received Mr. Luo, why don’t you take a rest first and summon him again later?”

"No, let him come here now."

"Yes, Long Live."

After a while, Yang Lian was led in.

After a brief salute, he finally had the opportunity to meet this "true gentleman" alone.

"Yang Aiqing, I have known about you for a long time. I have heard my father often mention your deeds to me before.

I heard that after you passed the Jinshi examination, you took up the post of Changshu County.In order to truly understand the local people's conditions, he often wore green clothes and cloth shoes, went deep into the fields and houses of the people, and conducted inspections in private. He learned all about the diseases and diseases in the village, and was deeply supported by the people.Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue ranks first among honest officials.

Nowadays, there are not many officials who can personally go to the fields and observe the people's sentiments. What's more, you are still a Jinshi. This really makes me admire you. "

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's praise, Yang Lian leaned over and thanked him: "Thank you for your majesty's praise. The magistrate is the parent official of a county. It is the magistrate's duty to understand and sympathize with the people's sentiments. The true situation of a county cannot be seen in the documents. It is necessary to conduct on-the-spot investigation. I am just following the words of the sages and keeping in mind the sufferings of the people."

"Everyone knows how to keep the sufferings of the people in mind, but how many people can't do this. They just muddle along all day long and eat nothing. If you catch a lot of these people, if all officials are like you, then the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty will be ruined." I don’t have to worry so much.”

Yang Lian's words couldn't help but make Zhu Youxiao feel very emotional.
