Chapter 341 Doomed to be an Unsettled Day

Following a message sent by Shaanxi Baishui, the situation in Shaanxi suddenly became tense. The guards all over Shaanxi, the officers and soldiers began to be vigilant, and the gates of many cities began to be closed during the day, and entry and exit were prohibited, even if they were opened. During the day, it is opened for a while as if facing an enemy, and then it will be closed again.

Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province is the capital of Shaanxi Province. As the newly appointed governor of Shaanxi Province, Bi Zisu, in the governor's yamen, also felt like facing an enemy. He called together bureaucrats, big and small, from Xi'an Prefecture to discuss something together.

Inspired by the decoration on the platform after visiting the emperor’s platform, Bi Zisu also allocated a large house in his yamen, and asked the staff sent by the emperor to set up a huge sand table, which he managed. Site - Shaanxi.The sand table marked the cities of various parts of Shaanxi, the garrisons of various places, rivers, mountains and rivers... Since it was made by the new army, the production was quite fine and clear for people to see at a glance.All kinds of maps or situation maps are hung on the surrounding walls. Once people enter this room, they will immediately feel that this place is different, and they will immediately devote themselves to the level of commanding the whole of Shaanxi.

In this room, now, officials of all sizes gathered.Everyone was shocked by the layout of this room, they couldn't stop looking at the layout of this room, and they all looked sideways at the huge sand table in the middle of the room. To be honest, this intuitive sand table made them understand the situation in Shaanxi. Intuitive understanding.

Bi Zisu got the news on the [-]th, and immediately issued an early warning to inform the local governments to strengthen their vigilance, and the local guards were ready to fight at any time to prevent the victims from rebelling.When I was almost busy with these things, I realized that I should hold a meeting to gather everyone to discuss how to deal with this matter, so I called together officials, large and small, from the Xi'an Prefecture to give them a breath. Discuss what to do, explain the situation to them, let them know what's going on, and let them understand the situation. That's why this gathering of officials, big and small, happened.It is said that they are invited to discuss matters, but in fact, Bi Zisu's staff group has already "made" decisions for Bi Zisu. Bi Zisu only needs to allocate and integrate resources according to the advice of the staff officer of the new army. It's just a briefing, or rather, a meeting to showcase yourself.

"Dear colleagues, Bi was appointed by His Majesty to be the governor of Shaanxi. Before coming, His Majesty had told Bi to be careful not to turn the disaster victims into rioters. Now, unfortunately, His Majesty's words have been true to this matter. The news is that in the end of the summer, that is, tomorrow, there will be people secretly joining forces and preparing to raise the flag to rebel. The scale involves the whole of Shaanxi, which belongs to the type of blooming everywhere. Today, everyone is called here to tell everyone about the matter..." Bi Zisu saw that everyone came together So, the briefing session was started, which was not only a briefing session, but also a good opportunity to show one's ability and the emperor's foresight, and it was also an opportunity to enhance the confidence of bureaucrats big and small.

All officials, big and small, knew what was going to happen from the news from the governor's yamen in the past few days. However, this time, hearing the governor himself say it, they felt different, and they all opened their ears to listen to the first-hand information.

Since Bi Zisu met the emperor and saw the emperor's platform, he has gained experience in dealing with the emperor's affairs, especially the war. Simulate warfare on the sand table.

As a member of the imperial party, as a confidant of the emperor, Bi Zisu was proud to follow the emperor in every word and deed. Therefore, he also held a small wooden stick, stood in front of the platform, and explained Shaanxi to his subordinates on the sand table. situation.

"...According to the information received, northern Shaanxi, especially Fugu, will be the focus of this conspiracy..." Bi Zisu was wearing a crimson official uniform, but he only used a hairpin to hold his hair in place, very casually. , holding a long wooden stick in his hand, on the huge sand table, began to point.

"...Before Bi Mou came, His Majesty had already explained that northern Shaanxi was barren and the ability to resist disasters was not strong, so he needed to focus on precautions. Therefore, His Majesty specifically explained that the new army was dispatched to Suide. It seems that this time , Your Majesty is completely right in his words. Your Majesty is really the Son of Heaven. Even the capital, thousands of miles away, knows the situation in Shaanxi very well..." Besides introducing the situation, Bi Zisu also moved the emperor out, while giving Put on a facade by yourself, show your relationship with the emperor; at the same time, cheer up your officials by praising the emperor.Otherwise, some people may feel fear in their hearts when they hear the rebellion in Shanxi Province, which will have a negative impact on what they want to do.

All the officials, big and small, were neatly dressed and listened to the governor's explanation. They came to see the official. Naturally, a full set of official uniforms is indispensable. It has not rained in Shaanxi for two months, and it is July, the hottest time of the year. , It was just past noon, and at the hottest time of the day, due to the large number of people, the house became even hotter, and many officials were sweating from the heat...

"...Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." I don't know who took the lead in shouting, so the officials, big and small, came to their senses and shouted together again.

Bi Zisu was very satisfied. The emperor is powerful because he is powerful. Who calls him an imperial party?If the emperor has authority, he has the right. Who told him to be acting as the emperor to govern Shaanxi?

"...The situation is basically like this. The civil uprising in Shaanxi still needs the full support and cooperation of all colleagues. It’s a good suggestion, you can say it.” Bi Zisu briefly introduced the situation, and then began to interact with everyone. This is what he learned from the New Army’s staff group, and Bi Zisu now completely uses the emperor’s words and deeds as his own learning and imitation A role model, ask the staff everywhere, how about His Majesty the Emperor?He just follows.

……

Officials, big and small, are very unsuited to this model. They always say what the top says and what the bottom does. Even if it is a discussion, it is not up to them. , has always only obeyed orders.

"My lord, I want to ask a question." A younger official may ask because the water chestnuts have not been smoothed, setting a precedent.

"Please tell me." Bi Zisu said confidently.

"I want to ask Mr. Bi, where did this news come from? Is it credible? Why didn't the court get this news before?" The young official asked.As soon as this problem came out, many officials stretched out their ears, ready to hear the truth. They only knew that something was going to happen, but the cause, they didn't know what it was, and it became a mystery in everyone's mind. The governor's explanation just now, No specific questions were mentioned.

Bi Zisu was very confident and didn't care at all, and replied with a smile: "This news is a long story, everyone knows that Bi's ability to come to Shaanxi to serve as governor is inseparable from one thing."

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened. The incident of the emperor borrowing the head was still vivid in their minds. Although they didn't borrow it, and they didn't poke the corpse, it was still scary enough, the governor of a province!That head, he borrowed it as he said.

"Wang Er of Baishui killed the official and rebelled. The former governor intercepted the news privately and deceived the saint. Everyone knows about this..." Bi Zisu said without hesitation.

Everyone was so hot that they were sweating profusely, but when they heard this, they were shocked and chilled all over.

"...His Majesty sent a new army to encircle and suppress Baishui. The battle went smoothly. Wang Er surrendered himself and was arrested in exchange for his life. He told the news. His Majesty's new army led a team of thousands of households, Wu Sangui. , Wu Sangui is His Majesty's servant on the platform. He fought against Donglu outside the pass in his early years. He is a young hero. This news is absolutely reliable..."

Officials, big and small, were amazed!The fact that the emperor was protected by a god and a man has always been mysterious. I did not expect that there seemed to be a god and a man who blessed this kind of thing. A few days before the people's rebellion, they would actually know this news. I was wondering, did the emperor really dream of gods and men giving advice in his dreams?

Bi Zisu was very satisfied with the eyes of everyone, and became more and more confident.

……

July 22 is destined to be a day that cannot be peaceful.

In Huangfu Village, Fugu County, many people gathered in front of the Earth Temple, seemingly discussing something.

"Everyone is here, so let's talk about what to do. I just got the news from the city today. The dog officials seem to know the news that we are going to riot tomorrow. Should we go or stay, continue to riot, or hide?" , in short, there must be an explanation..." A man with a strong face said with a ferocious expression.

These people are people from all walks of life who are going to raise their flags to rebel tomorrow. There are disaster victims who can't survive, frontier soldiers who escaped, wanted criminals who committed crimes, and habitual bandits.Suddenly got the news that Fugu County closed the city gate at noon, the city was very busy, and there seemed to be soldiers patrolling the city wall. These people knew that their news had been leaked, and the government was prepared. Therefore, in this small The village discussed what to do.

"My old Wangtou, just say a few words." This self-proclaimed old Wangtou, whose name is Wang Jiayin, is one of the leaders of peasant uprisings in history.

All eyes were on this middle-aged man who was very famous in the local area. His words represented the vast majority of the local people.

"My old Wangtou said early on that you should be cautious about raising the flag to rebel... Now that the government has known the news in advance and is prepared, it is definitely not possible to rebel. Besides... the emperor has De, if you are willing to give tens of millions of taels of silver to those who cannot survive, why should we rebel? We rebelled because we could not survive and wanted to find a way to survive. When we discussed this matter, my king Someone once said, what is rebellion or not? We don’t understand. We just want to stutter. I promised you before the news of the emigration of the Holy Son of Heaven came here. Now, with the emigration of the Holy Son of Heaven, Besides, the news has been leaked, so don't blame me, Wang, I, Wang, must also think about everyone, if we can survive, we will not rebel..." Seeing that the matter was exposed, Wang Jiayin immediately put his own The point of view is clear, that is to give up the rebellion and go to the emperor's immigration point. In this way, the hope of surviving is even greater.

"Hmph, Lao Wang, you are already plotting rebellion. Do you think that if you stop now, the government will not be able to hold you accountable? Hmph, rebellion is a death penalty for punishing the nine clans. If you don't raise the flag now, you will die faster... ..." the tyrannical Khan who spoke earlier threatened.

"It doesn't matter whether my old king dies or not. The key is that everyone has to live. Everyone trusts me, old king, and that's why they recommended me to come forward. Since my old king has agreed, I will naturally take everyone to a place where they can live. Go, now, the government already knows the news that we are going to rebel, so they are naturally prepared, and let everyone go to rebel. Isn't this picking up eggs and hitting rocks? If you don't get muddy, forgive me for not being with you, my old man Wang can't gamble with the lives of big guys..." As the most influential person of this generation, Wang Jiayin is influential and others trust him. Naturally, there is a reason for it. It is fair and willing to think about others. This is the most basic of.Therefore, seeing that things are not going well, I am ready to find another way.They are disaster-stricken farmers, different from the overbearing Khan called Buzhanni, who were originally bandits, bandits, and habitual criminals. Only the one who wants to rebel is the one who wants to rebel. He is attacking the princes and generals, and he would rather have some kind of idea.

"You..." This tyrannical man called Buzhanni was so angry that he was about to start a riot. However, at this critical juncture, the most important old Wangtou actually shrank his head, without the participation of their victims Well, they are some bandits. If bandits want to make trouble, at most they just grab one and run away. It has nothing to do with pulling the flag and rebelling.

"Yang Liu, what do you say?" Seeing that the old Wangtou said that he disagreed with raising the flag to rebel, the tyrannical man turned to another person and kept looking at the dazed person in the distance.

The man called Yang Liu seemed to have just come back to his senses, and said: "I have to think about this matter. If the old Wangtou is not involved, I'm afraid I won't do it either. Now, I have to take advantage of the officers and soldiers. I haven't reacted yet, so I hurried to the immigration point, and then went to the south by boat, and started over there, I, Yang Liu, looked at it, the current emperor has not lost his virtue, and if he rebels, I'm afraid it won't work. Now that the Holy Son of Heaven has the virtue of being good at life, and the emperor has the grace of mighty power, I don’t plan to do it anymore. At the beginning, there was still some hope, but once the tens of millions of silver immigrants from the Holy Son of Heaven came out, most of these hopes were lost. The news was leaked, and even the remaining hope is gone. I think it’s better to send all the brothers to the south. This Shaanxi, I can’t stay here anymore... Sigh... Holy Son of Heaven, if you leave a few days earlier Years..." As he spoke, the man named Yang Liu shed tears unknowingly. The group he represented by Yang Liu was different from Wang Jiayin and Budiaomu. Wang Jiayin was a purely disaster-stricken farmer; Those who are not muddy are pure bandits, bandits, and habitual criminals; they are the most special, they are a special collection of bankrupt garrison troops and escaped frontier soldiers.

The reason why Yang Liu was crying was because he used to be a frontier soldier and a small leader, but he was really forced to do nothing. The only way is to leave with a group of brothers, occupying a piece of unclaimed land, and become an existence that does not take back the sky and does not care about the land. Bandits are not like bandits, and bandits are not like bandits.Now, from some old contacts, he knows that the emperor not only has tens of millions of silver in relief for immigrants, but also knows that the emperor just gave them a replacement of several million taels a while ago. Half of the frontier soldiers, more or less, have all received money, and their minds have settled down a lot. Originally, he planned to persuade some old relationships to make trouble together, but now, it is useless.I heard that the emperor was very generous and spent money unambiguously. I heard that the emperor even exempted them from taxes. Thinking of all these, Yang Liu felt very sad. Brothers run away, it would be nice to bear it for a while!It is impossible to go back now, now that things have come to this point, it is difficult to go back, thinking of all the sad things, I just silently burst into tears.

"Hmph, Holy Son of Heaven, Holy Son of Heaven, all of you keep talking about the Holy Son of Heaven. If he is the Holy Son of Heaven, there should be no drought in Shaanxi. Why is there such a severe drought in Shaanxi when he becomes emperor? There is no harvest! Haven’t lost your virtue yet? In my opinion, it’s time for a change of dynasty, so God sent such a drought to help me get things done. How can I miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?” clamoring.

After hearing Buzhanni's words, Lao Wangtou and Yang Liu didn't make a sound, they just looked at him coldly.This person, and them, are completely different people. They just want to survive and get entangled with this group of people. If it is normal, they have to guard against their robbery. The hope of the flag rebellion succeeding is slim, and there is a way out before them. After weighing it again and again, they decided to part ways.

"Third brother, go and tell everyone to pack their bags and get ready to leave. It would be best if we can spend the night by the Yellow River tonight. We must hurry to the immigration point..." Old Wangtou immediately made a decision and decided not to leave. I got entangled with these people again. Now that the government has just received the news, I am afraid that they will have some time to prepare for rebellion. Therefore, I have to take this opportunity to immigrate as soon as possible. If it is too late, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave.

A young man who had been standing behind Wang Jiayin immediately turned around and went to work.

"Old Wangtou, if you dare to leave, aren't you afraid that I will inform you?" Seeing that the old Wangtou was serious, the arrogant and profuse Khan was furious. The disaster victims led by the old Wangtou accounted for [-]% of them, without him Even if it is a rebellion, the government is afraid that it will not be treated as a rebellion, and it will be called a bandit robbery, so it is ready to tear its face and threaten.

"Don't get muddy, we are not the same people after all. If it weren't for this famine year, we might have to carry a knife to guard against your robbery. Hmph, working with you, my old king is really blind. Fortunately, I turned back early. If I really work with you, I’m afraid I won’t know how I died. If you want to tell the truth, go ahead. My old Wangtou’s life is worthless. If I die, I will die. Let me go..." The old Wangtou lost his temper , the more threatened, the tougher he is, and the overbearing man, completely tearing his face apart.

"You..." Although the arrogant Khan was furious, he couldn't help it. He only had [-]% of the people here, and he had no advantage in a fight. He could only say a few harsh words bitterly.

"Yang Qi, tell the brothers, we're leaving too, it's too late, it's too late..." Seeing that the old Wangtou and Buzhanmu had their faces torn, Yang Liu also left immediately, there was no need to stay here anymore.
