After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 260 The Trouble of the Great Zhou Dynasty
After meeting up with the female student, the two exchanged information, and the female student complained: "I don't know what the city lord thinks, why he must send cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty! They guard us just like thieves Likewise, these five thousand cotton-padded clothes might as well be given directly to the poor people in Jinzhou Prefecture!"

Although Qiu Juniang didn't agree with it in her heart, she always obeyed Xu Zhenying's decision and never showed it to outsiders. Therefore, she said: "Don't talk nonsense. The city lord must have her reasons for doing this."

"I can't think of a reason."

"Since we can't think of anything, let's do whatever the city lord says."

After Qiu Juniang left, the soldiers in Zhao Yi's tent were still puzzled when they looked at the cotton-padded clothes. One of the soldiers patted the table boldly: "No matter what he wants to do, it is a fact that he gave us cotton-padded clothes. I It was really true just now. Not to mention that the cotton-padded clothes are light and very effective in keeping warm. If all our soldiers wore these cotton-padded clothes, how could so many people freeze to death like last year? "

"Everything that goes wrong must have a monster. He is a rebel from Jinzhou Prefecture, traveling thousands of miles just to bring warmth to us? General Zhao, this thief is so ambitious, we have to guard against him!"

Zhao Yi looked at Bai Cien and said, "You have spent some time in Qianzhou Mansion, please tell me."

Bai Ci'en swept away everyone in the room and felt helpless: "If I tell the truth, you will definitely think that I emulate others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige. You may even charge me with treason and collaborating with the enemy."

Zhao Yi raised his hand and said, "Just tell the truth. What you said in the tent today will not be spread."

Having said this, Zhao Yi glanced around, and the generals who had just made a fuss could only hold back at this moment.

"When it comes to rebels, I have seen many and killed many. But the rebels in Jinzhou Prefecture are something I have never heard of or seen before."

Zhao Yi frowned, "What a strange method?"

"General, have you ever seen a rebel who did nothing to the common people after entering the city? Have you ever seen a rebel who opened a warehouse to release grain and paid for everyone to read and read at his own expense? Have you ever seen a rebel who only lasted a year? Are you going to make the people desperate to rebel?" Bai Cien thought of the time he spent in Qianzhou Prefecture, and still thinks it was a dream. "The people of Jinzhou Prefecture stay open at night and have fields and food. A paradise that is sheltered from the wind and rain. General, I wrote to Your Majesty that the key point of the Zhou Dynasty is not in the north, nor in the Ming Dynasty, but in the southwest!"

Zhao Yi's face changed slightly.

But others disagreed, "General Bai, could it be that you were captured by the rebel once and your courage has weakened? How can you confuse the public with such monstrous words? No matter how powerful the rebel is, he only lives in a corner of the southwest, and this The Tatars can attack Bianjing City! Everyone can see what is more important. Is it possible that the little rebels in the southwest are more powerful than the Tatars? "

"Yes, General Bai's words are too alarmist, but it doesn't matter if a few rebels are rebelling. If the general gives me 10,000 soldiers, I can immediately destroy the entire Jinzhou Prefecture!"

Bai Ci'en was helpless.

These generals are short-sighted and think too highly of themselves. These words are even the same as what my father said.

The entire Zhou Dynasty was waiting for Xu Zhenying to grow and develop, but no one took him seriously.

Bai Cien was angry, impatient and hateful, but no matter what, he had no choice.

It is said that the Supreme Emperor became furious after reading his post and almost sent him to prison. If his father hadn't been involved, how could he have come to the north and become an idle general.

By this point, Bai Cien was already disillusioned with the court.

Seeing the fierce rebuttal from the people in the room, Bai Cien didn't even have the intention to argue. In the end, Zhao Yi knocked on the table and stopped everyone's quarrel, "Tell me one by one, let's talk about the cotton-padded clothes. Do we want these five thousand cotton-padded clothes?" don't want?"

"Yes! Why not?! If he dares to give it to us, he dares to take it!"

"Absolutely not. The shortest way to eat people is to be soft. What if he begs us to do something in the future?"

"You are stupid. One size is the same. You need cotton-padded clothes, but you can't do anything. When the time comes, let him suffer the loss of being dumb!"

"But what if we are falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy?"

"It's better to collect the cotton-padded clothes and immediately write to the court to explain the situation."

"That's not good either. Will the court think that our family is living in two households and receiving supplies from the enemy, so it will become suspicious of us?"

"Oh, the imperial court should have bought these cotton-padded clothes and given them to us. Now that they don't give them to us, why don't they allow others to give them to us? After all, our people are only comfortable if they freeze to death, right? Last time The matter of military pay is being delayed again and again, and the people under my command are almost mutinous. They are not the ones who are cooperating to charge into the battle, so they are not anxious at all! "

Zhao Yisi thought about it and then said: "That's it, let's inform Qiu Juniang and say that we will keep the cotton clothes first. Tomorrow we will submit a letter to explain the situation to the Supreme Emperor, and also urge the court to purchase more of this kind of cotton clothes. No matter what their plans are in the future, in the future We’ll talk about it later, at least let the soldiers wear cotton-padded clothes first!”

Everyone had no choice but to agree, and as they were retreating one by one, Bai Ci'en was left alone.

The lights in the room flickered, leaving only the backs of two people.

The two sat opposite each other.

After a long time, Zhao Yi asked quietly: "Cien, is that rebel in the southwest really so powerful?"

Bai Cien's face was solemn, "General, I will only say one thing."

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Then Bai Cien's voice sounded, "All the soldiers under his command can read and write. They practice every morning, study military law in the afternoon, and do actual combat exercises in the evening. What they train is not soldiers, but generals!"

Zhao Yi's eyelids twitched.

"I don't know the rest, but I know that their soldiers have a strict set of employment standards. All soldiers are ranked comprehensively according to their cultural performance, drill performance and actual combat performance. Only those with high scores are qualified to lead the team. General, think about it, like this What a terrible army they brought out!"

Zhao Yi's tone was particularly long in an instant.

He seemed to understand what Bai Cien said: "The key to the Zhou Dynasty is to rebel against the rebels in the southwest."

Zhao Yi lowered his voice: "What did the court say?"

Bai Cien smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is busy fighting for the throne with Prince Ming, how can you care about a mere rebel in the southwest?"

Zhao Yi looked complicated for a moment, and then saw Bai Cien hesitate to speak, "Cien, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Actually, I just wanted to say that the female doctor said two things, and everyone only cared about cotton-padded clothes. But the second thing she said is the big deal, the cowpox vaccine!"

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, remembering that Doctor Qiu seemed to have mentioned cowpox. But they didn't understand either. They were talking about cotton-padded clothes and the topic was diverted. They also forgot about the cowpox vaccine.

"Cotton coats are nothing, the cowpox vaccine is the key!" Bai Cien frowned, "When I was in Qianzhou, I heard that they were researching a method to completely cure smallpox. At that time, they said what kind of vaccine it was, as long as it was given to people Just make a small incision and apply their vaccine, and you will never be infected with smallpox again!”

"What did you say?!" Zhao Yi stood up in shock, "Preventing and treating smallpox? Is this true or false?"

Bai Ci'en nodded, "It should be true. When I was in Qianzhou in June, I heard about the vaccine. General Zhao, I said before that this group of rebels is unusual, and it's not just words. They are in Jinzhou Prefecture. There is a research institute that specializes in studying messy things, such as vaccinia vaccines, pencils, and cement. I have never seen cement, but I have seen pencils..."

Zhao Yi was stunned, and then he struggled to find a pencil from a pile of documents that was several miles long. "You said this is an object from Jinzhou Prefecture?"

Bai Ci'en took a look and said, "That's right. Most of their military personnel use this pencil to take notes with them. The pencil does not smudge ink and can be written when opened. It is easy to carry and is most suitable for military personnel."

Zhao Yi felt mixed emotions at this moment, "So, the cowpox thing is very likely to be true?"

"Yes. The only thing I'm not sure about is why they want to befriend us for no reason?"

"Don't worry about that. As long as that cowpox vaccine can really prevent and cure smallpox, I'll call him Grandpa. Ci'en, you don't know, it's so cold in the north, and there will be plagues almost every ten years. Last time, smallpox almost He almost destroyed the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. If he really has a miracle cure for smallpox, as long as his demands are not excessive and he does not let me surrender to the enemy and betray the country, I, Zhao Yi, will agree to it! "

Bai Cien's heart skipped a beat.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

He had stayed in Qianzhou for a month or two, so he knew Xu Zhenying's tricks of winning people's hearts best.

Even when Qiu Juniang came, he vaguely guessed that Xu Zhenying might be paving the way for the future. No matter whether he wanted to be recruited by the court or to dominate the world, making friends with Zhao Yi in advance would be a good deal anyway.

However, cotton-padded clothes and cowpox vaccine... are really irresistible!

This Xu Zhenying... is like holding their hands, and they can't accept her kindness.

In Jinzhou Mansion, in Hu Wei's house.

Lin Er stood respectfully beside him.

The firelight danced, and the atmosphere in the room was a little uneasy.

Lin Er hesitated, "Master, do you really want to do this?"

"The matter has come to this, there is nothing to hesitate about. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it."

Lin Er frowned, "Master, think twice, this is not a question of responsibility. Once we are confirmed to have spread smallpox, what will the city lord think? And what if the infection spreads to our territory?"

"I have used the reason that the winter plague has a high incidence to ask Secretary Qian to issue an order to promote cowpox vaccination. All people in my Jinzhou Prefecture must be vaccinated within a month. Take this clothes and go directly to the territory of the King of Zhoushan. There are so many refugees there, even if a plague breaks out, we can’t be found to be the cause.”

Lin Er was silent.

This smallpox plague, if not careful, can kill hundreds of thousands of people. At this moment, he only felt that the clothes in his hands were heavy.

"Lin Er, don't be kind to a woman, let alone be unable to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The refugees from the King of Zhoushan will always turn into bandits to attack our Jinzhou Prefecture in the future. The soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture are precious and must not have any No damage at all. We are doing this for the city lord's long-term plan!" Hu Wei's eyes flashed, and he patted Lin Er's shoulder with a serious tone, "Now that troubled times are about to begin, we must not be merciful to the enemy as long as you make this trip! The Zhoushan King’s territory was captured by his efforts.”

The fear on Lin Er's face continued, "If the city lord finds out..."

"She won't find out. These clothes were left after the medical school disposed of them. The people at the medical school didn't find out, and the city lord's people won't find out either. Only God knows about this matter. You know it and I know it!" Hu Wei His tone was a bit serious, "Lin Er! Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, and don't be merciful to women! Even if the lives of the King of Zhoushan are in ruins, I, Hu Wei, will bear the responsibility alone!"

Lin Er pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking for a long time before accepting the clothes worn by smallpox patients.

"Master, I understand."

At the end of October, a full-scale war broke out between Jinzhou Prefecture and Qianzhou Prefecture.

Led by Xu Zhenying, the team was approaching Xingyuan Mansion; the west was not peaceful either, and the King of Zhoushan clearly showed signs of mobilizing troops; while the Qianzhou Mansion in the south was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and even chose to launch an attack when it was so depleted!

Jiang Yongkang personally led 15,000 native brothers to march from the south and directly invaded Jiezhou, the capital city on the south side of King Li and Xiaoli. The remaining 5,000 people surrounded him from both sides and were responsible for cleaning up the county town below.

Every time they went to a county, they spread false news that Jiezhou was occupied, causing people in the following counties to panic. The soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture had not yet arrived, and in several places they had already opened the city gates in advance and surrendered.

The soldiers from Jinzhou Prefecture marched straight in, advancing as if they were crossing uninhabited territory.

The people behind Xu Yinxi followed closely, and when they reached a certain point, they planted the flag of Jinzhou Prefecture, and then the propagandists followed closely, using the three magic weapons of Jinzhou Prefecture: Lan County pigs, universal education, and cowpox vaccine .

When these three things that are related to the vital interests of the common people are combined, the common people will be stunned and they will not care who becomes the emperor.

Isn’t it the same who is the emperor?
In addition, the soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture advance and retreat in a controlled manner, and do things in a very orderly manner. They never exploit the common people, and sometimes even help the common people with farm work. Therefore, the reputation of Jinzhou Prefecture becomes more and more popular!
In fact, Xu Yinxi is really stretched!
To conquer each of these counties, we need to quickly stabilize the people's hearts and put them into operation immediately, but where can we find so many manpower in such a short time?
So she could only send some people first to slowly roll out these tasks. For example, for comprehensive education, she would first survey the population of the village. This survey would take ten days and a half to buy them time.

The common people are like donkeys pulling a mill, with a carrot hanging in front of them, so naturally they can only follow it. As long as there is a glimmer of hope for them, they will willingly become members of Jinzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, Jiang Yongkang traveled south without any worries. He rarely heard of news that the counties that had been captured had mutinied again.

In addition, King Li's subordinates are really a bunch of people. In the final analysis, they are just the same as Li Datou, but they have more people. As soon as the soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture rushed, the people of King Li and King Li dispersed like birds and beasts, and some even abandoned the city and surrendered.

Along the way, they pushed the people of King Li and King Li almost to the middle position.

In the end, almost all the elites of King Li and King Li were killed by them and hid in a place called Xiangshui Mansion.

This Xiangshui Mansion is surrounded by walls and has a solid city. It has a wide field of vision and will be noticed as soon as it approaches within five kilometers. It has unique geographical conditions.

At this point, the war fell into a state of anxiety.
